Abstract

The paper presents a model of a flat plate photocatalytic reactor under solar radiation. The model was based on convection and diffusive mass flux balances in two zones: thin liquid layer and pores in the layer of a porous catalysts. The flux of light intensity was described by Kubelka–Munk theory.
