CFD simulation in chemical reaction engineering
Reaction engineering is a branch of chemical engineering that deals with the design and optimization of chemical reactors.
Reaction engineering is a branch of chemical engineering that deals with the design and optimization of chemical reactors. The goal is to optimize the transport processes (heat transfer, mass transfer and mixing) to improve the yield/conversion of desired products and to ensure the safe operation of the reactor. This means maximizing yield while minimizing costs. These costs could be related to the cost of feedstock, energy input, heat removal or cooling, stirring or agitation, pumping to increase pressure, frictional pressure loss, etc.
