The significance of electrification of industry increases with the growing influence of renewable electricity as a primary energy source on earth. In this sense, microwave heating is a well-established electricity-based and market-mature technology employed on the commercial scale in ... Read More
The use of computer simulations to analyze systems during the design process is a popular approach for validating and optimizing designs. But simulations are deterministic in nature and do not consider the uncertainty in design, manufacturing, and use of the product. Using predictive ... Read More
Air core reactors are commonly used as shunt reactors, fault current limiting reactors, tuning reactors in capacitor banks. The absence of the iron-core results in a simple and lightweight construction. Consequently, the magnetic field of an air-core reactor is not guided within a ... Read More
Laser Powered Homogenous Pyrolysis (LPHP), a non-isothermal wall-less plug flow reactor using cw-IR CO2 laser heating by fast vibrational–translational (V–T) energy transfer, is a common technique for high temperature pyrolysis in the gas phase with minimal catalytic effect of hot ... Read More
Sustainable wastewater management has stimulated the exploration of innovative technologies, such as electrochemical nutrient recovery, which promises efficient recovery and reuse of vital nutrients, reducing environmental impacts and resource wastage. This study presents the modeling of ... Read More
In this work, the modeling of an industrial scale, single tube, packed bed reactor for steam reforming (SR) application, typically used to provide hydrogen for ammonia synthesis, is discussed. The tightly coupled mass, energy, and momentum equations used to describe the system have been ... Read More
The yield and selectivity of a chemical reactor are controlled by the rates of desired reactions relative to those of undesired side reactions. These reaction rates are controlled by the local concentration of reactants, as often described by elementary rate laws. Chemical engineers ... Read More
In this presentation we are dealing with the computational fluid model of a Filament Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (FACVD) reactor. Proposed strategy in this study involved several steps: (a) development a computational model for FACVD process capable to describe and obtain with ... Read More
Most reactor designs are based on pseudo homogeneous models. This paper studies the COMSOL simulation of a packed bed reactor using a 2-D heterogeneous model. The case considered was a packed reactor with spherical catalyst for oxidation of o-xylene in air to phthalic anhydride. Large ... Read More
Metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) is a well-known process to produce high quality thin films that can protect, ennoble and functionalize metallic tools. To realize a high performance coating on a complex 3D mold surface, knowledge about the material formation from a ... Read More
