This research paper presents a detailed review of the recent advances concerned with carrying out efficient solar chemical reactions by reviewing most reactors available in literature that use solid-gas or pyrolysis processes. Major groups chemistry design and manufacture wide range reactor configurations, widths, sizes, including directly radioactive particles. Solar heat up to 1000℃ can be ut...

this study, combustion in a 5kW porous burner is simulated. The two dimensional Navier-Stokes, the energy and the chemical species transport equations are solved and a multistep kinetics mechanism (5 reactions and 7 species) is employed. Finite volume method is used for simulation. Thermal nonequilibrium is accounted for gas and solid temperature and radiation heat transfer is considered for so...

Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy is applied to ambient pressure surface science studies of adsorption and catalytic reactions at solid/gas interfaces.

The importance of solid-state diffusion and crystal growth of the solid product in a gas-solid reaction with solid product formation (GSRSPF) are discussed with direct sulfation of limestone as a representative example. A GSRSPF usually involves nucleation and crystal growth of the solid product, which are necessary processes for the formation of the new phase of the solid product. Solid-state ...

This chapter discusses the phenomenon of polymorphism in organic and organometallic compounds. Polymorphism is first introduced and then, to give the work some context, background information is given concerning properties and techniques for characterizing the solid phases. In particular, desolvation and interconverstion are examined, and the gas–solid reactions are presented as a successful ro...
