Abstract
The theoretical analysis of a transient method is presented for the quantitative study of heterogeneous reaction rates and gaseous, multicomponent diffusion coefficients. From observations of the rate of decay of reactant after its source of supply has been shut off, the kinetics of chemical reaction on the catalytic surface may be obtained. This experimental approach is particularly applicable to the study of the diffusional transport of highly reactive species such as free radicals and atoms.
