Heterogeneous Catalysis: Mass Transfer Effects

This lecture covers the simplified calculation for combined mass transfer in heterogeneous catalysis, Laplace transforms, and the analysis of rate data. It discusses the concepts of Laplace transforms, transport transfer effects, and criteria analysis for understanding heterogeneous reactions. The instructor explains the principles behind Madon-Boudart rules and other tests to evaluate reaction kinetics. Additionally, the lecture explores the impact of heat transfer on reaction rates and the importance of intrinsic turnover frequency. Various tests and criteria are presented to analyze the effects of mass and heat transfer on reaction kinetics.
