A short review of batch reactor theory and practice is the subject of this paper. Based on unsteady state mass and energy balances, the mathematical set of equations describing the time-dependent behaviour of a batch or semibatch reactor is reported. The attention is focused on some examples of batch reactor experiences (experimental studies, scale-up techniques, industrial operation and optimi...

In this paper, the modeling of a dynamic chemical engineering process is presented in a highly understandable way using a unique combination of the simplified fundamental theory and direct hands-on computer simulation. The main aim is to use them for analysis, optimise and adaptive control of behavior of dynamical system, especially of a given chemical reactor. A non-linear mathematical model i...

Optimization of electric energy consumption in degradation of Indigo Carmine based on a new cylindrical batch suspension photocatalytic reactor designing concerning the main engineering parameters such as mixing, reaction kinetic, mass transfer, catalyst illumination, and inherent potential of contaminant was done. The most degradation efficiency was observed within in air flow rate 1.2L. min-1...

Reactor staging is widely used in wastewater treatment where treatment norms are achieved by connecting two or more reactors in series. The first reactor operates at high carbon source loads and the last reactor performs the final polishing. Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are bioelectrochemical devices designed for direct electricity production from organic matter. Periodic connection of the MFC e...

A fixed bed reactor design program is developed by the use of Java JDK1.7 algorithm language with Eclipse program as the platform. The program selects five common fix bed reactor process flows to calculate the main structure parameters of the reactor. With the good interface, the program can output the corresponding results after inputting the kinetics and thermodynamics parameters of the react...

The vision of environmental engineering is wide, varied and unparalled. The changing world has prompted scientists to target towards green chemistry and green engineering. Green engineering encompasses environmental engineering. The path of success is visionary. Environmental engineering along with dye degradation techniques is ushering in a new era and new vision environmental pollution contro...

Light alkanes can be converted to more useful chemicals in noble metal coated monoliths at very short contact times. The short-contacttime reactor is described by detailed models for the flow field, chemistry, and their coupling. The partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas in a rhodium coated monolith is studied numerically as an example. Keyword: reactor modelling, catalytic partial oxid...
