A dimensionless analysis of isobaric diffusion process has been conducted on both membrane sides to see the influence of volumetric flow rate and temperature on mass transfer. This analysis is based on the reduced form of dusty gas model appropriate for the evaluation of isobaric diffusion process in membrane reactors. The component mass balances in the two gas compartments are calculated by ignoring axial dispersion in terms of Bodenstein’s number. Influence of volumetric flow rate and temperature on mass transfer in membrane reactors is evaluated in this work. Results are presented in form of dimensionless quantities solved by subsequent transformations.
