Monitoring, control and optimization of chemical reaction systems often requires in-depth analysis of the underlying reaction mechanisms. This dissertation investigates appropriate tools that facilitate the analysis of homogeneous and gas-liquid reaction s ...
Microstructured reactors are known to provide high heat and mass transfer rates for liquid–liquid twophase systems when used as a single channel. For industrial scale production, scale-up of microstructured reactors is essential to achieve throughput in th ...
The objective of this thesis is the development of a compact reactor for continuous three-phase reactions in single-pass configurations. The design is based on a bubble column reactor staged with layers of catalytic material. To make the reactor suitable f ...
A comprehensive program of integral experiments, largely based on the measurement of reaction rate distributions, was carried out recently in the PROTEUS zero-power research reactor at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, employing a fuel lattice re ...
This article is a comprehensive overview of gas-liquid and liquid-liquid mass transfer in microstructured reactors (MSR). MSR are known to offer high heat and mass transfer rates for two phase systems due to high surface to volume ratio as compared to conv ...
Background. The small characteristic sizes (in the range of 102 - 103 μm) of Microstructured reactors (MSR) lead to very high specific interfacial area which, in turn, increases heat- and mass transfer efficiency. However, for quasi instantaneous exothermi ...
The Supercritical-Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) is the Generation IV reactor concept most closely related to current light water reactors (LWRs). The SCWR builds on the vast experience with today's LWRs and supercritical coal-fired power plants. Water at sup ...
Liquid-liquid biphasic reactions play an important role in the chemical and pharmaceutical Industries The liquid-liquid slug flow capillary microreactor offers considerable potential benefits over the conventional liquid-liquid contactors Though the hydrod ...
Gas cooling in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has a long history, the corresponding reactor types developed in France, the UK and the US having been thermal neutron-spectrum systems using graphite as the moderator. The majority of NPPs worldwide, however, are ...
The Paul Scherrer Institute used to be very active in fuel fabrication R and D using the internal gelation process, which is a promising production method for spherical nuclear fuel. Such fuel kernels can be directly packed in a cylindrical cladding (a sph ...
