Abstract There are many industrially important reactions in which the chemical kinetics and external diffusion govern the observed reaction rate, and the observed kinetics differ drastically from the true kinetics. This study shows that the forward stagnation flow region of a circular cylinder can be a convenient system for studying the true kinetics of a solid catalyzed reaction owing to its unique property of uniform accessibility.
