Strategic Application of Residence-Time Control in Continuous-Flow Reactors

Strategic Application of Residence-Time Control in Continuous-Flow Reactors

As a sustainable alternative for conventional batch-based synthetic techniques, the concept of continuous-flow processing has emerged in the synthesis of fine chemicals. Systematic tuning of the residence time, a key parameter of continuous-reaction technology, can govern the outcome of a chemical reaction by determining the reaction rate and the conversion and by influencing the product select...

Residence Time Distribution for Tubular Reactors

In the core of Chemical Engineering is the reactor design that includes most of all scientific disciplines. The reactor, in general, are treated ideally: mixed and plug-flow patterns. Unfortunately, it is observed in the real world a very different behavior from that expected. Thus, to characterize nonideal reactors is used, among others, residence time distribution function E(t), mean residenc...

Liquid residence time distribution in micro-reactors with complex geometries

Towards Integrated Continuous-Flow Chemical Reactors

A device for rapid mixing of two solutions is presented. As the main mechanism for mixing is diffusional mass transport, the ̄ow has to be split into several laminae which are narrower than the capillary width. Complete mixing is achieved within a few seconds in a ̄ow-through device with a channel system that is 600mm wide at its narrowest spot.

Strategic Default Jump as Impulse Control in Continuous Time

Discussion Papers are a series of manuscripts in their draft form. They are not intended for circulation or distribution except as indicated by the author. For that reason Discussion Papers may not be reproduced or distributed without the written consent of the author. This paper presents a new approach for modeling an optimal debt contract in continuous time. It examines a competing contract d...
