How to Evaluate Thiele Modulus?

Thiele Modulus evaluator uses Thiele Modulus = Length of Catalyst Pore*sqrt(Rate Constant/Diffusion Coefficient) to evaluate the Thiele Modulus, Thiele Modulus formula is defined as a dimensionless parameter used to characterize the effectiveness of a catalyst particle in terms of diffusional limitations. It is commonly employed in the context of heterogeneous catalysis, where a solid catalyst is involved in a chemical reaction, and reactants must diffuse through the catalyst particle to reach the active sites. Thiele Modulus is denoted by M_T symbol.

How to evaluate Thiele Modulus using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Thiele Modulus, enter Length of Catalyst Pore (L), Rate Constant (k) & Diffusion Coefficient (D_f) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Thiele Modulus

What is the formula to find Thiele Modulus?
