	Fine Tuning for Water Purification Amsterdam Water Supply (AWS), Amsterdam, Netherlands Amsterdam Water Supply AWS of the Netherlands produces some of the cleanest drinking water in the world, almost 100 million cubic meters per year in fact....
	Argonne Models Alternate Hydrogen-production Technique Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL The "hydrogen economy" aims to reduce the USA´s reliance on imported fossil fuels along with the emission of greenhouse gases. Funding for alternative...

	Dissociation in a Tubular Reactor Tubular reactors are often used in continuous large-scale production, for example in the petroleum industry. One key design and optimization parameter is the conversion, or the amount of reactant that reacts to form the desired product....
	A 3D Model of a Diesel Particulate Filter Several factors influence a diesel particulate filter’s (DPF) efficiency and durability. Important issues include the removal of soot particles from the filter membranes and the influence of thermal stress on the ceramic structure,...
	Chemical Vapor Deposition of GaAs Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) allows a thin film to be grown on a substrate through molecules and molecular fragments adsorbing and reacting on a surface. This example illustrates the modeling of such a CVD reactor where...
	Hydrocarbon Dehalogenation in a Tortuous Microreactor Removing halogen groups from hydrocarbons is an important reaction step in several chemical processes. One application is water purification. Other examples involve organic synthesis, where the removal of halogen groups serves as a...
	Heat Transfer and Steam Reforming in a Reactor In fuel cell power generators, a steam reformer unit typically produces the hydrogen needed for the cell stack. This example illustrates the modeling of a steam reformer. The reformation chemistry occurs in a porous catalytic bed where...
