the epitaxial silicon chemical vapor deposition by SiClq/H2 mixtures in a LPE 861 barrel reactor has been simulated by means of a detailed 2D model solved by the commercial finite element code FIDAP. Different reactor configurations (i .e., bell diameter, gas diffusers, susceptor tilting angle) and deposition conditions ( i .e . , flow rates and reactor pressure) have been examined. The simulat...

Most coupled or combined processes use a fixed film reactor in series with a suspended growth reactor. In combined processes, the fixed film reactor usually consists of a biological tower. The suspended growth reactor is generally an aeration basin or small contact channel. Other types of combined processes have been used where rotating biological contactors (RBC’s), lagoons, or other treatment...

The development strategy of nuclear fusion energy in the Korea National Basic Plan for the Development of Fusion Energy consists of several major programs. These are shown in Fig. 1, and include KSTAR for the study of a long-pulse, advanced tokamak operation, ITER for a burning plasma experiment, the DEMO reactor for the demonstration of producing net electricity from a fusion reactor, and a co...

A mathematical model of a mixed culture of bacteria in a fully three dimensional flow reactor which accounts for the colonization of the reactor wall surface by the microbes is studied both analytically and by simulation. It can be viewed as a model of the large intestine or of the fouling of a commercial bio-reactor or pipe flow. The primary focus is on coexistence of microbial populations in ...

Two microwave-induced plasma reactors are being investigated. As first approach, a small scale plasma reactor (100 300 ml/min) so-called Surfatron is studied to gain insight into gas/plasma phase reactions. A parametric study of various key gas phase reactions is being performed. Furthermore, an up-scaled plasma reactor (100 l/min) will be utilized to understand the needs towards developing an ...

Objective(s): The aim of present research was to develop matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam filled in capsule for targeting early morning peak symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and Methods:Matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam were prepared by direct compression method using microsomal enzyme dependent and pH-sensitive polymers which were further filled into an empty HPMC capsule. To asses...

Segmented CVD reactor designs enabling spatial control of across-wafer gas phase composition were evaluated for depositing graded films suitable for combinatorial studies. Specifically two reactor designs were constructed and evaluated with experiments and response surface model (RSM) based analysis to quantify the reactor performance in terms of film thickness uniformity, sensitivity to adjust...

In this paper, extensive study of ring-opening polymerization ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) using lipase Novozym 435 as catalyst in flask level and reactor level were conducted. The polymerization rates increase with an increase in time up to 4 h after which there has been a steep decrease for all temperature from 50 to 100 °C in the flask level. The conclusion out of flask level and reactor level stud...

Increasing complexity in reactor designs suggests a need to reexamine of methods applied in spent-fuel characterization. The ability to accurately predict the nuclide composition of depleted reactor fuel is important in a wide variety of applications. These applications include, but are not limited to, the design, licensing, and operation of commercial/research reactors and spent-fuel transport...
