To enhance the effective surface, and hence the chemical reaction rate, catalytic surfaces often take the form of porous solids.
One such solid may be visualized as consisting of a larger number of cylindrical pores, each of diameter D and length L.
Consider conditions involving a gaseous mixture of A and B for which species A is chemically consumed at the catalytic surface. The reaction is known to be first order k1CA. Under steady state, flow over the porous solid is known to maintain a fixed value of the molar concentration CA0 at the pore mouth.
Beginning from fundamentals, obtain the differential equation that governs the variation of CA with distance x along the pore. Applying appropriate boundary conditions, solve the equation to obtain an expression for CA(x).

Frequency, f, is how many cycles of an oscillation occur per second and is measured in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). The period of a wave, T, is the amount of time it takes a wave to vibrate one full cycle. These two terms are inversely proportional to each other: f = 1/T and T = 1/f.
