Abstract It is postulated that the mixing conditions in a flow-through reactor can be characterized as having either completely mixed, completely plug flow, or some network of completely mixed and plug flow component vessels. A frequency-response technique is used to obtain an experimental Bodé plot for arbitrarily mixed vessels. The interpretation of the Bodé plot is discussed, and , in light of this interpretation, a network of plug flow and completely mixed components is specified as a flow model. A Rosenbrock search routine is used to improve the parameter estimates of the model. To verify the model, a second order reaction was run through the vessel and the experimentally measured conversion was compared to that predicted by the model. It is shown that the modeling technique, in addition to describing the mixing in the system, will indicate inactive volume, as well as measure the extent of any channeling or short circuiting in the reactor.

Back Mixing

Gas phase back mixing has been measured in a column packed with vertical expanded metal sheet under the counter-current flow of gas and liquid by the static method using a tracer. The observed experimental concentration profiles has not confirmed our earlier proposed model of back mixing, based on the concentration profiles in absorption runs. These profiles do not even conform with the axially dispersed plug flow model currently used to describe axial mixing in packed bed columns. The concentration profiles may be described by a combination of the axially dispersed plug flow model with back flow.

Hydrogen Stream

The aim of this work is to design an ethanol steam reformer to produce a hydrogen stream capable of feeding a 60 kW PEM fuel cell applying the plug flow model, considering the presence of the catalyst bed (heterogeneous model). The Dusty-Gas Model is employed for the catalyst, since it better predicts the fluxes of a multicomponent mixture. Moreover, this model has shown to be computationally more robust than the Fickian Model. A power law-type kinetics was used. Results showed that it is possible to carry out the ethanol steam reforming in a compact device (1.66 x 10 -5 to 5.27 x 10 -5 m3). It was also observed that this process is determined by heat transfer.

Tracer Studies

This paper focuses on understanding the electrolyte flow characteristics in a typical packed-bed electrochemical reactor using Residence Time Distribution (RTD) studies. RTD behavior was critically analyzed using tracer studies at various flow rates, initially under nonelectrolyzing conditions. Validation of these results using available theoretical models was carried out. Significant disparity in RTD curves under electrolyzing conditions was examined and details are recorded. Finally, a suitable mathematical model (Modified Dispersed Plug Flow Model (MDPFM)) was developed for validating these results under electrolyzing conditions.

Biphasic Systems

Abstract Oscillatory flow reactors (OFRs) superimpose an oscillatory flow to the net movement through a flow reactor. OFRs have been engineered to enable improved mixing, excellent heat- and mass transfer and good plug flow character under a broad range of operating conditions. Such features render these reactors appealing, since they are suitable for reactions that require long residence times, improved mass transfer (such as in biphasic liquid-liquid systems) or to homogeneously suspend solid particles. Various OFR configurations, offering specific features, have been developed over the past two decades, with significant progress still being made. This review outlines the principles and recent advances in OFR technology and overviews the synthetic applications of OFRs for liquid-liquid and solid-liquid biphasic systems.
