A&me-The axial dispersion problem formulated in part I[11 of this series is solved for cases 2-4 and 7 identified therein. The cases analyzed here consider appendages to the finite axially dispersed reactor which are either semi-infinite sections of finite dispersion or well-mixed sections of tinite capacity. The findings possess features akin to those found in Part II[q for case 1 but obviousl...

A transparent dual-channel microreactor with highly enhanced contact area-to-volume ratio was fabricated for efficient photosensitized oxygenations. The dual-channel microreactor shielded with polyvinylsilazane (PVSZ) consisting of an upper channel for liquid flow and a lower channel for O(2) flow, allows sufficient phase contact along the parallel channels through a gas permeable PDMS membrane...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a popular tool in the water industry for assessing ultraviolet (UV) reactor performance. However, due to the size of open-channel-type UV reactor systems, the CFD model requires significant computational time. Thus, most evaluations have been conducted using very simplified models. In order to ensure the reliability of this simplified CFD model, precise num...

An automated multi-channel continuous-flow analyzing system was constructed for the rapid measurement of both the tota} amino acid content and the L-gtutamate content of green tea infusions. i.-Glutamate in samples was oxidized and deaminated enzymaticatly in a channel -'ith a mini-reactor that "'as packed with i.-glutamate oxidase immebilized on glass beads, and the evolyed ammonium ions were ...

The paper demonstrates the development of a numerical algorithm to solve a set of nonlinear hyperbolic equations in time domain in Eulerian frame of reference using a characteristics based finite difference implicit scheme to analyze density wave oscillations in boiling water nuclear reactor. The present algorithm removes the uncertainties existing in literature over the treatment of boundary c...

A roadblock to the development of stand-alone microscale biomedical and chemical analysis systems is the relatively high heating power requirement of the microscale reactors, which typically exceeds the capability of low cost batteries. In this study, a microchannel thermal cycling reactor design using in-channel heating and passive cooling is proposed and a numerical model has been developed. ...

A continuous flow reactor equipped with a low-loss flow channel and a microwave cavity was developed for synthesizing nanophosphors. A continuous solution synthesis of YVO4:Eu,Bi nanophosphor was succeeded through the rapid hydrothermal method using this equipment. Internal quantum efficiency of YVO4:Eu,Bi nanophosphor obtained by 20 minutes microwave heating is about 30% at 320 nm as high as t...

Tarapur Atomic Power Station is a twin unit Boiling Water Reactors. The rated initial capacity of each unit was for 210 MWe. Subsequently due to Secondary Steam Generator tube leak problem, the units were de-rated to 160 MWe in the year 198485. The station has completed 36 years of successful commercial operation. TAPS reactor fuel channels are made of Zircaloy -4, material. These are used alon...

This study addresses the development of a compact reactor for oxidative steam-reforming of methanol (OSRM) to produce hydrogen in autothermal mode for fuel cells. The string reactor uses catalytically active brass wires with a diameter of 500 mm placed in parallel into a tube. The micro-channels in the reactor for gases are formed between the wires presenting hydrodynamics similar to the one in...
