how to non-dimensionalize and solve this question?
RV,A=-kcatCE0CAKm+CA
Where kcat=0.02s-1 and Km=48M. ref In order to carry out the reaction, we will utilize
spherical beads loaded with VAO covalently attached to and uniformly distribution within a
hydrogel scaffold. The solubility of Vanillylamine is 16.1gL and its molar mass is 153.18 g/mol. The VAO concentration in the hydrogel is 1mol/L
For the purposes of this problem:
The reaction only takes place within the beads.
The diffusivity of vanillin/vanillylamine in water is DA=110-13m???2s
Assume that the vanillylamine concentration with the reactor is uniform everywhere
(well-mixed)
i. Simplify and non-dimensionalize the governing differential equation and boundary
conditions. What dimensionless group(s) appear?
ii. Obtain a solution for the ODE. Comment on how the radius of the beads impacts the
utilization of the catalyst by plotting the solution for several bead radii values. Hint: In this
case the beads can range from 0.05-1mm in diameter.
