A study to further simulation research of a commercial chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor is presented. A simulation is created using the computational fluid dynamics software package, Fluent (version 4). The variation of gas temperature inside the reactor system, as a function of gas flow rate, is examined. Data is collected for trials of several initial flow rates and iterations. Results...

This document summarizes the large program of chemical research and development which led to selection of fuel and coolant compositions for the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) and for subsequent reactors of this type. Chemical behavior of the LiF-BeFrZrFrUF4 fuel mixture and behavior of fission products during power operation of MSRE are presented. A discussion of the chemical reactions w...

• Research, develop and demonstrate the Ion Transport Membrane (ITM) Syngas ceramic membrane reactor system for the low-cost conversion of natural gas to hydrogen and synthesis gas. • Scale-up the ITM Syngas reactor technology through three levels of pilot-scale testing and precommercial demonstration. • Obtain the technical, engineering, operating and economic data necessary for the final step...

M. Saternus, T. Merder, J. Pieprzyca: Silesian University of Technology, Department of Metallurgy, Katowice, Poland The research which visualizes the process of argon blowing through modelling agent in continuous URC-7000 reactor was carried out. Physical model was built according to the theory of similarity. Additionally, the measurements of modelling agent c onductivity w ere done . A s a c o...

In this research work, hydrodynamic characteristics and gas–liquid mass transfer in a laboratory scale inverse turbulent bed reactor were studied. In order to characterize internal flow in the reactor, the residence time distribution (RTD) was obtained by the stimulus-response technique using potassium chloride as a tracer. Different solid hold-up (0–0.37) and air superficial velocity (2.7–6.5 ...
