How Do Propeller Agitators Enhance Catalytic Reactions?
Propeller agitators enhance catalytic reactions by improving mass transfer and ensuring uniform temperature distribution. This is particularly important in heterogeneous catalysis, where the efficiency of the reaction depends on the contact between the solid catalyst and the liquid or gas-phase reactants. The axial flow created by the agitator ensures that reactants are continuously brought into contact with the catalyst surface, thereby increasing the reaction rate.
