Evaluation of the performance of immobilized enzyme reactors with Michaelis-Menten kinetics. 1994

Two dimensionless models, taking into account the external mass-transfer, are used to characterize and compare the behaviour of plug flow reactors (PFR) and continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR). These models need only two parameters, the Damköhler number and the Stanton number, to cover all the range of operating conditions. The conversion and a new dimensionless number, quantifying the use of the enzyme, are calculated for different values of the Damköhler and Stanton numbers.
