What are the Methods to Control Heat in Catalytic Reactions?
Several strategies are employed to control heat in catalytic reactions:
Heat Exchangers: These devices transfer heat from the reaction mixture to a cooling medium or vice versa, maintaining optimal temperatures. Reactor Design: Engineers design reactors, such as fixed-bed reactors or fluidized-bed reactors, to enhance heat dissipation. Coolant Circulation: A coolant fluid is circulated through the reactor to absorb excess heat. Temperature Sensors and Controllers: These devices continuously monitor and adjust the temperature to maintain it within desired limits.
