Several challenges can arise in effective heat management, including:
Scale-Up Issues What works in a laboratory setting may not be directly scalable to industrial levels. The heat transfer dynamics can change significantly with scale, requiring careful planning and redesign.
Material Limitations The choice of materials for reactor construction must withstand the thermal and chemical environment of the process. Material degradation due to high temperatures can pose significant challenges.
Economic Considerations Implementing sophisticated heat management systems can be costly. Balancing the cost with the benefits of improved performance and safety is a critical consideration.
