Given a solid-solid reaction system controlled by diffusion, the two variables, i. e., particle size ratio R
r and volume fraction
XVA should be specified for the efficient design purposes.
Based on the reaction model proposed previously, an equation, Eq. (15), correlating the system variables, R
r and
XVA in addition to
RD, the diffusivity ratio, can be derived for the optimum design condition by equating the times needed for reaching the transition points in both A and B particles. A nomogram is proposed to readily determine the two variables in question.
