In this study a new and robust procedure is presented to solve synthesis of isothermal reactor networks (RNs) which considers more than one objective function. This <span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #0...

This paper deals with the analysis of two tubular reactor models, the non isothermal tubular reactor model and a biochemical reactor model. It is shown in particular that multiple equilibrium profiles can be exhibited if the diffusion coefficients are large enough.

Ahstrati-A one-dimensional, two-phase axially dispersed plug flow model has been developed to describe the steady-state performance of a relatively new type of reactor, the gas-solid trickle flow reactor (GSTFR). In this reactor, an upward-flowing gas phase is contacted with a downward-flowing dilute solids phase over an inert packing. The model is derived from the separate mass and heat balanc...

This study presents the development of a plug flow crystallization (PFC) platform consisting of a vortex mixer combined with a tubular reactor. Process analytical technologies (FBRM, PVM, FT-IR) were applied in-situ in order to characterize and optimize crystallizations via the use of novel flow cells. In addition to this a new calibration free method for concentration monitoring was successful...

Plug-flow activated sludge reactors (ASR) that are step-feed with wastewater are widely adopted in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) due to their ability to maximise the use of the organic carbon in wastewater for denitrification. Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are expected to vary along these reactors due to pronounced spatial variations in both biomass and substrate concentrations. However, ...

We have developed a simulation tool to model self-limited processes such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) and etching inside reactors of arbitrary geometry well the output in situ quartz crystal microbalance mass spectrometry. applied this two standard types cross-flow reactors: cylindrical tube reactor 300 mm wafer reactor, explored both ideal nonideal kinetics. The results are agreement with ...

in this paper, control of a non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor in which two parallel autocatalytic reactions take place has been addressed. the reactor shows chaotic behavior for a certain set of reactor parameters. in order to control the product concentration, an optimal state feedback controller has been designed. since concentrations of reactor species are not measured, an obser...

BACKGROUND Despite its semi-commercial status, ethanol production from lignocellulosics presents many complexities not yet fully solved. Since the pretreatment stage has been recognized as a complex and yield-determining step, it has been extensively studied. However, economic success of the production process also requires optimization of the biochemical conversion stage. This work addresses t...
