This can be written as

For the sake of brevity let us omit in following developments the subscript infinity so, Equation

Let

(104)
and

Now,
The Effectiveness factor is defined by the relation

(108)

(109)

(110)

(111)

(112)

(113)

(114)

This is the required relation between Effectiveness factor and thiele Modulus
GENERAL KINETICS:

(115)

where r(Y) is a power function rate or a hyperbolic rate for Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics.
Let introduce the substitution

(116)

(117)
isolate for diff(diff(Y(xi),xi),xi)

(118)

(119)

(120)
add 4*r*Y(xi) to both sides

(121)
multiply both sides by xi

(122)

(123)

(124)

(125)

From E25, it requires to compute the integral ,

(127)

Integrating by parts and back substituion yields

(128)

substituting G11 in E25

(129)

(130)

We transform G1 by susbtituting

(133)

(134)
Substituting this in Eq G13 and solving
