Light Intensity Distribution in an Elliptical Photoreactor

Modeling and geometry optimization of photochemical reactors: Single- and multi-lamp reactors for UV–H2O2 AOP systems

“…If the number of lamps or the reaction rate constant increases or the absorption coefficient of the water decreases, the optimal distance between the centers of the reactor and the lamp increases.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modeling of Photochemical Reactors

“…Therefore, this approach cannot be employed as a reasonable systematic method to design photoreactors. Different incidence models have been developed and used for photoreactor modeling including radial incidence model (Gaertner and Kent, 1958;Schechter and Wissler, 1960;Smith, 1966, 1967;Cassano et al, 1968;Smith, 1970b, 1971;Santeralli and Smith, 1974;Dolan et al, 1965;Jacob and Dranoff 1969;Williams and Ragonese, 1970), partially diffuse model (Matsuura and Smith, 1970a), and diffuse incidence model (Jacob and Dranoff, 1969;Williams, 1978;Matsuura et al, 1969;Matsuura and Smith, 1970c;Harada et al, 1971;Roger and Villermaux, 1983). In emission model, a lamp is considered as an emitting line, a surface, or a volume source.…”
