for the complete range of rates of the reaction and of the mass transfer.

Case E and F: Intermediate rate with reaction in the film and in the main body
of the liquid
Case G:
Slow reaction in main body but with film resistance
Case W:
Slow reaction, no mass transfer resistance
We show these eight cases in Fig. 23.3.
