At a glance:Da = k·τ; Da ≫ 1 means reaction-limited (fast reaction). Complements arrhenius-equation and reaction-rate.
Formula
Da = k·τ.
$$\mathrm{Da} = k\,\tau$$How to Use
- Enter rate constant and residence time.
- The tool returns Da.
Case Studies
k=0.5, τ=4
Da = 2.
FAQ
Da ≫ 1?
Reaction is fast relative to flow — conversion limited by residence time.
