What are the Challenges in Using Thermal Imaging for Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, there are challenges: 1. Resolution Limitations: The spatial resolution of thermal cameras may not be sufficient to capture small-scale temperature variations on the catalyst surface. 2. Emissivity Variations: Different materials have different emissivities, which can affect the accuracy of temperature measurements. 3. Complex Reactions: In highly complex catalytic reactions, interpreting thermal images can be challenging due to overlapping thermal effects from multiple sources.
