I am working to find the rate law for heterogeneous catalysts in a lab. I read FOGLER, and there they have used differential reactors. Is there any other method? Can anybody give me some idea or the names of other sources to find it?

More explicitly, is that method enough? Can anybody give me the names of some sources of how engineers in industries try to find it?

Just to add, in FOGLER, they have used a differential reactor to find the initial rate of reaction. Using that and the initial partial pressures of the components involved, they have deduced a rate law. And then, they have applied regression analysis to find the values of rate constants.

Moreover, I don't need a detailed rate law. Some , apploximate rate law will suffice.

I used FOGLER for my 1st basic ChE kinetics course, and LEVENSPIEL for my 2nd advanced ChE kinetics course.  I don't have them with me now to refer to, but you may want to look at Levenspiel.

Hi,

Take a look at:

Chemical reaction engineering by Octave Levenspiel -3rd edition

 

Chemical reaction engineering by Martin Schmal

 

Edit: Google or similar engine should be your ultimate resource.

 

Good luck
