Piston flow is a convenient approximation of a real tubular reactor. The design equations for piston flow are relatively simple and are identical in mathematical form to the design equations governing ...

The essence of reactor design is the combination of chemical kinetics with transport phenomena. The chemical kineticist, who can be a chemical engineer but by tradition is a physical chemist, is ...

Current research is focused on improving fundamental understanding of the process and optimal design of solar-thermal chemical reactors/receivers. Projects include CFD modeling of multi-tubular ...
