Thermodynamics: Exothermic & endothermic reaction in counter current flow

AI Thread Summary
In a co-current flow reactor with an exothermic reaction and an endothermic reaction separated by a thin wall, the endothermic reaction can proceed at a faster rate than the exothermic one, even without heat transfer. The discussion raises questions about whether this trend holds in a counter-current flow setup under identical conditions. The complexities of reaction rates and heat transfer dynamics are highlighted, emphasizing the need for clarity in understanding the interactions between these reactions. The original poster seeks to clarify their scenario, indicating a gap in comprehension regarding the principles at play. Overall, the effectiveness of heat transfer and reaction kinetics in different flow configurations remains a critical point of inquiry.

Hi guys, I have a scenario here; let's say we have a exothermic reaction and a endothermic reaction going in co-current flow reactor (separated by a thin wall to facilitate heat transfer).

At steady state after some time, from the concentration profile, we have the endothermic reaction going at a faster rate than the exothermic one.

If all conditions remain the same (i.e. reactants, starting temperature) does that means endothermic reaction will be the faster one even if there is no heat transfer between the two?

How about for a counter-current flow situation with all the above conditions remaining the same? Which will be the faster one at steady state?

Have I written enough information?

Even as an experienced chemical engineer with reaction engineering and heat transfer experience, I am unable to understand the essence of what this OP is asking.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
