Thermo-fluid Design Approach to Microreactors with Uniform Temperature and Residence Time Distribution

چکیده
Recently, extensive studies have been carried out on micro chemical process technologies (Jensen, 2001; Fletcher et al., 2002). In particular, analysis of chemical reactions and transport phenomena in micro-space has been performed energetically. However, most microreactors are designed and fabricated by trial and error -there is no systematic procedure for developing microreactors. Therefore, it takes much time and effort to reach the optimal design. Unless this situation is improved, the design period cannot be shortened.

Thermo-Elastic Analysis of Non-Uniform Functionally Graded Circular Plate Resting on a Gradient Elastic Foundation
Present paper is devoted to stress and deformation analyses of heated variable thickness functionally graded (FG) circular plate with clamped supported, embedded on a gradient elastic foundation and subjected to non-uniform transverse load. The plate is coupled by an elastic medium which is simulated as a Winkler- Pasternak foundation with gradient coefficients in the radial and circumferential...

In this work, nonlocal vibration of double of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) system conveying fluid coupled by visco-Pasternak medium is carried out based on nonlocal elasticity theory where CNTs are placed in uniform temperature change and magnetic field. Considering Euler-Bernoulli beam (EBB) model and Knudsen number, the governing equations of motion are discretized and Ritz method is applied to ob...
متن کاملSimulation of Hydrodynamic Dispersion in Gas/Liquid Microreactors
Dispersion and spreading of concentration signals in gas/liquid microreactors is studied with methods of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It is shown that conventional reactor designs exhibit a broad residence-time distribution due to convective signal dispersion. This result is supported by experiments monitoring the transport of a liquid plug introduced into the microreactor by a microdisp...
متن کاملProcess Monitoring of Tubular Microreactors using Particle Filter
Microreactors consist of tens to hundreds of micrometer-scale channels. The residence time of a fluid can be set exactly and backmixing can be minimized. Particularly, very short residence time can be achieved. In addition, it is possible to precisely control the reaction temperature due to large surface to volume ratio of channels. These features of microreactors make it possible to realize th...
