Compact Reactor Heat Exchangers: Research Needs and Commercial Opportunities
Résumé
This paper proposes a research strategy to enable design of compact reactor heat exchangers for a broad class of fast exothermic reactions. The aim is to enable process intensification through mixing enhancement of current single unit operations and synthesis of design in combined units. The strategy is geared to characterisation of generic classes of heat exchangers for their separate contribution to mixing and heat transfer sensitive reacting processes common to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
