THEORY OF COUPLED HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER WITH ZERO-ORDER REACTIONS IN TWO-PHASE SYSTEMS

General theory is developed to described dynamics of two-phase systems consisting of large numbers of drops, bubbles or solid particles in which zero-order chemical reactions take place simultaneously with thermodynamically coupled heat and multicomponent mass transport; average heat and mass transfer rates to or from entire particle population are evaluated to allow practical application of results in prediction of yields, reacting volumes, effluent temperatures and concentrations; application of solution is illustrated in case of nonisothermal binary dispersed phase system undergoing pseudo steady-state heat and mass transfer when zero-order reaction and thermodynamic coupling occur only in continuous phase.
