The progress within the field of additive manufacturing has eased the fabrication of new reactor geometries significantly. It is possible to design and print a reactor of tailored shape and size at comparatively low costs and short time. Printing and testing all sensible reactor designs ... Read More
Induction heating (IH) [1] is an electrically driven process useful for decarbonization of the industry. It can be used for electrification of chemical processes to replace traditional heating with gas burner and avoid CO2 emission. This kind of process can be used to heat efficiently ... Read More
Industrial catalytic processes require tailored catalysts with an optimized performance to reduce energy consumption and waste products. Besides an optimum temperature, pressure, and composition, the distribution of active material can be seen as a valuable additional design variable. ... Read More
Low temperature thermal carbonisation might be the ultimate solution to the growing disposal problem of CopperChromeArsenic-treated waste wood. This energy and material recuperating technology is currently in the process of upscaling to an industrial level. In the present study, a ... Read More
The blast furnace shaft is a huge counter flow reactor in which heat and mass exchange play a significant role in its mathematical modelling. The heat exchange model is already available in COMSOL Multiphysics® via the Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium interface. This multiphysics coupling ... Read More
Bioreactors play a critical role in cultivating biological cells for various applications, such as pharmaceutical production and tissue engineering. Optimizing the cultivation process requires a deep understanding of the flow characteristics within the bioreactor medium. In this study, ... Read More
High-temperature superconductor (HTS) technology is more and more commercially exploited, mainly for nuclear fusion reactors. The demand for HTS tape is met by multiple commercial manufacturers; there is a mature production process. With this technology now available, some other ... Read More
The complete modelling of free radical polymerization (FRP) in a flow microreactor is dependent upon various transport processes - mass, momentum and heat transfer alongwith chemical reaction. And top of that, all processes are coupled to each other thus making modelling and simulation ... Read More
Accumulation of plastic solid waste is a large share of municipal solid waste (MSW). Thermochemical treatment processes are a vital component of a sustainable integrated MSW management since they reduce the volume of the waste significantly. In conjunction with our efforts to develop ... Read More
