Abstract

Conditions are examined permitting the pressure gradient in a porous catalyst sustaining multicomponent diffusion of a gas mixture accompanied by chemical reaction to be neglected. Deviations are computed of the sum of mole fractions from unity for selected typical cases as a measure of error commited by neglecting the forced flow.
