Sentence examples for mass diffusion limitation from inspiring English sources

Such a mass diffusion limitation results in an uneven growth rate within the soluble substrate feeding biofilm and leads to a heterogeneous biofilm morphology.

The new model is verified through comparison with the conventional differential tubular model using the fast reaction kinetics of the steam methane reforming process and neglected mass diffusion limitation of the catalyst.

Measurements confirm the consistency of the simulation study, revealing the critical role played by the unexpected local temperature distribution on the active surface, largely prevailing on any mass diffusion limitation in determining the apparent activity of the surface.

High soluble substrate concentrations tend to promote growth of thick biofilms which are then subjected to mass diffusion limitations, leading to the formation of porous structures with fewer cells to facilitate substrate transfer (van Loosdrecht et al. 2002).

In particular, the mass balances have been developed by taking into account for both the external and internal mass transfer diffusion limitations, solving the dynamic partial differential equations (PDEs) system along the radius of the sorbent particles, considering both the fluid and solid phases that constitute the sorbent particle.

Multiple tests were performed to obtain the most favorable operating conditions to minimize mass-transfer diffusion limitations in the experiments.

The slow progression toward complete desorption is consistent with previous findings of mass-transfer diffusion limitations on contaminant release at this site.

The modelling includes internal diffusion limitation, external mass transfer characteristics, heat effects, maldistribution and flow stability.

The magnitudes of external mass transfer resistance and intraparticle diffusion limitation play a crucial role in these processes.

The onset temperature is important to rank the catalysts, according to the catalytic reaction; other phenomena (such as mass transfer or diffusion limitations) may in fact influence the performances of catalysts at higher conversion stages.

For temperatures of industrial relevance for the catalyst, i.e., below 550∘C (deactivation), the coke burn-off within the cylindrical particles (dP≈2mm) is determined by the interplay of chemical reaction and pore diffusion; limitation by external mass transfer can be excluded for T<750∘C.
