Abstract
A single particle diffusion model for estimation of effectiveness factor for a substrate inhibited encapsulated immbolized enzyme particle of spherical shape, which considers both internal and external diffusional resistances has been extended to study the performance of a continuous flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR) system. The effect of membrane thickness, Sherwood Number, dimensionless inhibitor constant, characteristic CFSTR-encapsulated enzyme particle parameter, and the ratio of the substrate diffusion coefficients on the substrate conversion are investigated parametrically. The numerical results are obtained for a range of variables of practical importance.
