Q.3 (a) Discuss the limitation of Shrinking Core Model. [03]
(b) Discuss the effects of temperature, time and particle size on determination of rate controlling step for fluid particle reactions. [04]
(c) Spherical particles of Znic blends of size R=1 mm are roasted in an 8% oxygen stream at 900°C and 1 atm. The stoichiometry of the reaction is

Assuming that reaction proceeds by the shrinking core model calculate the time needed for complete conversion of a particle and the relative resistance of ash layer diffusion during this operation. Film resistance can safely be neglected as long as a growing ash layer is present. [07]

Data:
Density of solid ρ_B=4.13 gm/cm³
Reaction rate constant k” =2 cm/sec
For gases in the ZnO layer D= 0.08 cm²/sec
