Abstract

The study of normalized overall rate constant k p /k f for diffuse-and-incorporate processes in dilute suspension of spheres partially covered with randomly distributed nonoverlapping active patches with a sped-up Brownian dynamic simulation scheme was presented. The normalized overall rate constant was found to increase with decreasing characteristic size of the active patch under the condition of fixed F cover . The verification of scaling relation with rate constant data from the sped-up Brownian dynamic simualtion was also presented. The approximate equation were derived to convert rate constant data of diffusion limited systems to correspoding nondiffusion-limiting systems.
