Bodenstein number formula \(\large{ Bo = \frac{ v \; l }{ D_a } }\)  Where:  Units English Metric \(\large{ Bo }\) = Bodenstein number \(\large{dimensionless}\) \(\large{ D_a }\) = effective axial diffusivity \(\large{\frac{ft^2}{sec}}\)  \(\large{\frac{m^2}{s}}\)  \(\large{ l }\) = reaction length \(\large{ft}\) \(\large{m}\) \(\large{ v }\) = velocity \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\) \(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\)
