Resumen:
In the present work an expression for computing the overall effectiveness factor of a partially wetted Raschig ring in a trickle-bed reactor is developed assuming total internal wetting. The system is isothermal and the reaction is assumed to be first order and irreversible in the limiting gaseous reactant. Likewise, an expression of the overall effectiveness factor for a zeroth-order reaction is developed. In both cases, the influence of the diffusional resistantes is analyzed and the sensitivity with respect to the liquid Biot number is evaluated.
