There are several benefits of incorporating turbulence in catalysis:
Enhanced Mass Transfer: Turbulence improves the diffusion of reactants to the catalyst surface and the removal of products, increasing the overall reaction rate. Improved Heat Transfer: Turbulent flow enhances heat dissipation, which is crucial for exothermic and endothermic reactions to maintain optimal reaction temperatures. Uniform Reactant Distribution: Turbulence ensures a homogeneous mixture of reactants, which can lead to more consistent and higher yields. Reduced Hot Spots: Improved heat transfer helps to avoid localized overheating, which can degrade the catalyst and reduce its lifespan.
