The equation representing the variation of rate constant with respect to temperature by the Arrhenius equation is
ln(k{2}/k{1}) = (E/R)*((1/T{1}) - (1/T{2}))
ln(k{2}/k{1}) = (E/R)*((1/T{2}) - (1/T{1}))
ln(k{2}/k{1}) = (E/R)*((1/T{1}) + (1/T{2}))
ln(k{2}/k{1}) = – ((E/R)*((1/T{2}) + (1/T{1})))
The performance equation of a PFR is
F{A{0}}/dV = -dX{A}/r{A}
dV/F{A{0}} = -r{A}/dX{A)
F{A{0}}/dV = -r{A}/dX{A)
F{A{0}}/dX{A} = -r{A}/dV

k{B}T/(2*h)
k{B}T^2/h
If C{A} is the final concentration and C{A{0}} is the initial concentration, the conversion of a reaction is expressed as
