Geometry Optimization for Multi-Inlet Vortex Photoreactor for CO2 Reduction

Process optimization of multiphase chemical and/or photochemical reactor means a challenge not only at laboratory scale but also while scaling-up is intended towards industrial applications. Using computational tools, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics, essential to assess transport limitations the heterogeneous process verify kinetic regime reaction and engineering are studied. together with Genetic Algorithms, has been currently applied fluid behavior turbulence. The latter device self-designed planned be constructed for CO2 reduction. results Dynamics simulations presented discussed, in order optimize operation multi-inlet vortex photoreactor. By considering catalytic particle features, residence time distribution photoreactor verified optimized.
