Reactor Design: Mass Transfer and Process Intensification

This lecture covers the design of reactors focusing on mass transfer efficiency and process intensification techniques such as high-gravity rotating packed bed reactors and spinning disk reactors. It discusses the principles, applications, and characteristics of these reactors, as well as their potential in various industrial processes. The lecture also delves into topics like precipitation in batch and continuous reactors, reactor mapping, and the use of thin-film spinning disk reactors for green processing. Various mass and heat transfer correlations, hydrodynamics, and operating parameters of spinning disk reactors are also explored.
