Design and application of a millistructured heat exchanger reactor for an energy-efficient process

A Control Algorithm for the Optimization of Batch Reactor-Based Processes

“…Subsequently, the heat transfer oil is heated at different time periods. Since the lag time of temperature increase of the heat transfer oil varies little under different heating-up times, Qloss can also be regarded as constant [Schwolow, Neumüller, Abahmane et al (2016)]. moil and Coil represent the mass and specific heat capacity of the heat transfer oil in the jacket of reactor, respectively.…”

Continuous-flow liquid-phase dehydrogenation of 1,4-cyclohexanedione in a structured multichannel reactor

“…14 Millimeter-scale flow reactors have been used as an alternative to slurry reactors for dehydrogenation reactions due to their significant advantages of excellent heat and mass transfer, rapid mixing, and fine control of contact time. 15,16 This uniformity of reaction environment ensures that every reactant experiences the same operating conditions and allows the reaction to operate in the intrinsic kinetic regime, which enables the selectivity of the dehydrogenation reactions to be maximized, 17 leading to waste by-product minimization. 18 Additionally, this approach enables pilot scale work to be bypassed by scaling up the number of reactors using well-established numbering-up processes 19 that do not sacrifice selectivity or yield.…”

Determination of exothermic batch reactor specific model parameters

“…However, from this concept, processes with a previously unknown or only partially known input substances composition are beyond the scope. Examples of a such process may be recycling or regeneration processes [1][2][3]. The input substances here can be wasted, polluted, or otherwise contaminated raw materials with a major impact on the system's behaviour, and of course also on the system model and/or model parameters.…”
