The chemical aspects are the prerequisite part and can
formally be represented by the
chemical reaction
kinetics (as a consequence of reaction mechanisms).
Optimizing strategies for the space time yield depend on the 'essence'
of the chemical reaction (this topic will be discussed later
on).
At this place it is recommeded to try some simulations on reaction kinetics ( for repetition!): workshop |
In other terms: reaction kinetics determine the choice
of the contacting
pattern within the reaction volume, hence the choice of
the reactor type.
Let us take as first explanation for the
contacting pattern 'the way how the reaction mass is mixed and mass
transfer manages the transport of the reaction components to the reaction
place'. more information ('macromixing') |
