Plasma Engineering for Minimars: A Small Commercial Tandem Mirror Reactor with Octopole Plugs

Reactor Engineering

Reactor and reaction engineering play a vital role in petroleum and chemical processing. The aim of this article is to acquaint the reader with the interaction between reactor design=selection and the characteristics of the chemical reaction of interest. Reactor selection and design are the basis of economical and safe operation. Chemical reactions in petroleum refining include a huge spectrum ...

A Plasma Reactor for Solid Surface Modification

A general purpose plasma reactor has been designed and built to be used in various fields such as metallurgy, and microelectronics. The important aspects of the system design are : (a) the chamber can be evacuated to a base pressure of approximately 5 X 10-7 Tom; (b) capabilities for thermal bake out at 150°C, and nitrogen pre-burn at a pressure of about 3 X 10-3 Torr; (c) substrate holder whic...

Tissue Engineering: Oromaxillofacial reconstruction with platelet rich plasma (PRP)

Glycoproteomic reactor for human plasma.

We describe the development of a glycoproteomic reactor that combines multiple biochemical and chemical protein processing into a single device for the study of N-glycosylated proteins. The glycoproteins are first enriched by concanavalin A affinity chromatography and then transferred onto and efficiently processed in the glycoproteomic reactor. This glycoproteomic reactor combines protein conc...

Concurrent Engineering Reactor Design

A system of softwares was developed in order to aid chemical reactor operation and design, as a tool to define operational policies and support process engineers. A C++ software, using artificial intelligence techniques, acts as an Expert System, guiding the user throughout reactor simulation and providing results in an easily comprehensible form. A Fortran software was used to simulate a react...
