Solution to the transient problem with a steady mass transfer coefficient.

We set the initial volume of the reactor and the feed rates and concentrations.  

Now solve these numerically.

Here is a plot of the answers for the liquid phase concentrations.  a is the solid line, b is the short dash, d cannot be seen and e is the long-short dash. s

return to conclusions

For these conditions we do not make much d.

Note that the a concentration initially increases until the reaction rate is fast enough to reduce it.

Here are the concentrations on the catalyst.
