What are the Challenges in Reactor Geometry Design?
Designing the optimal reactor geometry poses several challenges:
Scaling Up: Transitioning from laboratory-scale to industrial-scale reactors requires careful consideration of geometric scaling laws to maintain performance. Heat Management: Ensuring uniform temperature distribution and avoiding hotspots in large reactors can be challenging. Mass Transfer Limitations: Overcoming limitations in mass transfer, especially in densely packed catalyst beds, is crucial for efficient catalytic reactions.
