Abstract:
This literature compares the performance of second order competitive consecutive reaction in Fed-Batch Reactor with that in continuous Plug Flow Reactor. In a kinetic sense, this simulation study aims to develop a case for continuous Plug Flow Reactor in pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and related other chemical industries. MATLAB is used to find solutions for the differential equations. The simulation results show that, for certain cases of nonelementary scenario, product selectivity is higher in Plug Flow Reactor than Fed-Batch Reactor despite the fact that it is the same in both the reactors for elementary reaction. The effect of temperature and concentration gradients is beyond the scope of this literature.

Abstract:
Enzyme catalyzed reactions are rapidly becoming an invaluable tool for the synthesis of many active pharmaceutical ingredients. These reactions are commonly performed in batch, but continuous biocatalysis is gaining interest in industry because it would allow seamless integration of chemical and enzymatic reaction steps. However, because this is an emerging field, little attention has been paid towards the suitability of different reactor types for continuous biocatalytic reactions. Two types of continuous flow reactor are possible: continuous stirred tank and continuous plug-flow. These reactor types differ in a number of ways, but in this contribution, we focus on residence time distribution and how enzyme kinetics are affected by the unique mass balance of each reactor. For the first time, we present a tool to facilitate reactor selection for continuous biocatalytic production of pharmaceuticals. From this analysis, it was found that plug-flow reactors should generally be the system of choice. However, there are particular cases where they may need to be coupled with a continuous stirred tank reactor or replaced entirely by a series of continuous stirred tank reactors, which can approximate plug-flow behavior. This systematic approach should accelerate the implementation of biocatalysis for continuous pharmaceutical production.

Abstract:
AbstractCO2 capture using solid sorbents in fluidized bed reactors is a promising technology. The multiphase CFD model is increasingly developed to study the reactors, but it is difficult to model all the realistic details and it requires significant computational time. In this study, both the multiphase CFD model (i.e., CFD-DEM model coupled with reaction) and the simplified reactor models (i.e., plug flow model and bubbling two-phase model) are developed for modeling a fluidized bed CO2 capture reactor. The comparisons are made at different gas velocities from fixed bed to fluidized bed. The DEM based model reveals a detailed view of CO2 adsorption process with particle flow dynamics, based on which the assumptions in the simplified models can be evaluated. The plug flow model predictions generally show similar trends to the DEM model but there are quantitative differences; thus, it can be used to determine the reactor performance limit. The bubbling two-phase model gives better predictions than the plug flow model because the effect of bubbles on the inter-phase mass transfer and reaction is included. In the future, a closer combination of the multiphase CFD simulation and the simplified reactor models will likely be an efficient design method of CO2 capture fluidized bed reactors.

Abstract:
The use of phototrophic biofilms in wastewater treatment has been recognized as a potential option for development of new reactor configurations. For better understanding of these systems, a numerical model was developed including relevant microbial processes. As a novelty, this model was implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics, a modern computational environment for complex dynamic models. A two-dimensional biofilm model was used to study the spatial distribution of microbial species within the biofilm and along the length of the reactor. The biofilm model was coupled with a one-dimensional plug-flow bulk liquid model. The impact of different operational conditions on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia conversions was assessed. The model was tuned by varying two parameters: the half-saturation coefficient for light use by phototrophs and the oxygen mass transfer coefficient. The mass transfer coefficient was found to be determining for the substrate conversion rate. Simulations indicate that heterotrophs would overgrow nitrifiers and phototrophs within the biofilm until a low biodegradable COD value in the wastewater is reached (organic loading rate <2.32 gCOD/(m2 d)). This limits the proposed positive effect of treating wastewater with a combination of algae and heterotrophs/autotrophs. Mechanistic models like this one are made for understanding the microbial interactions and their influence on the reactor performance.

Abstract:
This thesis presents, in detail, all the steps of the development of a new in-situ spatially resolved method to probe gas phase concentrations and temperature with minimum invasiveness. From the literature review, it was noted that no techniques developed to date were designed to investigate packed powdered catalyst beds which simultaneously obtain the gas concentrations and the temperature profile. Within this thesis, details of the development of a prototype and further optimisation of a spatial resolution technique for packed powdered catalyst beds were disclosed. The technique was designed to have negligible impact on the packed powdered catalyst bed with the use of the smallest equipment available. Significantly, a number of validation tests of the spatially resolved technique were conducted and the results proved that the technique was working under different experimental conditions. The results of these validation tests highlighted the improvements of the optimised spatial resolution system, which provided twice as many sampling points as the prototype, as well as the additional benefit of simultaneous temperature recording. Additionally, the invasiveness of the spatially resolved technique was investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD); more precisely the sampling capillary was found to have negligible impact on the packed catalyst bed during the experiment. Furthermore, the results obtained experimentally have been compared with simulations using a micro kinetic model. The results obtained showed that a hybrid model (simulated concentrations and experimental temperature) allowed a more accurate picture of the phenomena occurring in the packed catalyst bed which was one of the initial aims of the development of the spatially resolved technique.

Abstract:
Biodiesel represents a possible substitute to the fossil fuels; for this reason a good comprehension of the kinetics involved is important. Due to the complexity of the biodiesel mixture a common practice is the use of surrogate molecules to study its reactivity. In this work are presented the experimental and computational results obtained for the oxidation and pyrolysis of methane and methyl formate conducted in a plug flow reactor. The work was divided into two parts: the first one was the setup assembly whilst, in the second one, was realized a comparison between the experimental and model results; these last was obtained using models available in literature. It was started studying the methane since, a validate model was available, in this way was possible to verify the reliability of the experimental results. After this first study the attention was focused on the methyl formate investigation. All the analysis were conducted at different temperatures, pressures and, for the oxidation, at different equivalence ratios. The results shown that, a good comprehension of the kinetics is reach but efforts are necessary to better evaluate kinetics parameters such as activation energy. The results even point out that the realized setup is adapt to study the oxidation and pyrolysis and, for this reason, it will be employed to study a longer chain esters with the aim to better understand the kinetic of the molecules that are part of the biodiesel mixture.

Full text
Abstract:
Pressurized chemical looping combustion (PCLC) is a promising next generation carbon capture technology which operates on the fundamentals of oxyfuel combustion to concentrate carbon dioxide in the flue gas stream. Oxygen is supplied through cyclic oxidation and reduction of a solid metal oxide between an air reactor and fuel reactor to prevent the direct contact of fuel and air. CanmetENERGY-Ottawa, in collaboration with Hatch Ltd., is designing a pilot scale PCLC system which uses ilmenite as the oxygen carrier and a novel fluidized bed design called the Plug Flow Internally-recirculating Reactor (PFIR). The PFIR consists of an annular bubbling fluidized region in which particles are circulated by angle jets through two reactive zones separated by baffles. The overall objective of this thesis was to provide key design parameters and insight for the construction of the pilot facility. Experimental work was first conducted investigating the minimum fluidization velocity (Umf), gas bubble size, and tube-to-bed heat transfer coefficients of different ilmenite particle size distributions (PSDs) at varying pressures up to 2000 kPa. The data was compared to a variety of literature correlations. The Saxena & Vogel (1977) constants for the Wen-Yu type correlations (Remf=√C12+C2Ar-C1) resulted in the best fit for predicting the Umf of the PSDs with Sauter mean diameters (SMD) less than 109 μm, while the Chitester et al. (1984) constants resulted in better predictions for the larger particle size distributions (SMD greater than 236 μm). Gas bubble size was found to be marginally impacted by pressure, with the Mori & Wen (1975) correlation best fitting the data. The heat transfer coefficient was found to also be marginally increased by pressure with the the Molerus et al. (1995) correlation matching the atmospheric data. A computational particle fluid dynamic (CPFD) model of the experimental unit was then created and validated using the obtained data for minimum fluidization velocity and bubble size. The accuracy of the model was found to be dependent on the particle close packing factor input variable, with a value of 0.58 resulting in the best results for each of the ilmenite PSDs modeled. Finally, a CPFD model was created for a cold flow design of the PFIR to investigate the impacts of different operating parameters on the solids circulation rate and gas infiltration rate between the two reactor zones. This model used the validated parameters of the previous CPFD model to add confidence to the results. The impacts of increasing superficial gas velocity, fluidizing gas jet velocity, bed height, and pressure were all found to increase the solids circulation rate through their respective impacts on the momentum rate of the fluidizing gas. A polynomial function was fit between these two variables resulting in a method to predict the solids circulation rate. Similarly, the rate of gas infiltration between sections was found to be dependent on the solids circulation rate, allowing for a function to be made to predict the gas infiltration at different operating conditions.

Abstract:
Procedures were formulated in Chapter 5 for treating complex reactions. We now turn to the design of reactors for such reactions. Continuing with the ethylation reaction, we consider the following reactor types for which design procedures were formulated earlier in Chapter 4 for simple reactions: batch reactors, continuous stirred reactors (or mixed-flow reactors), and plug-flow reactors. However, we use the following less formal nomenclature: A = aniline, B = ethanol, C = monoethyaniline, D = water, E = diethylaniline, F = diethyl ether, and G = ethylene. The four independent reactions then become Using this set of equations as the basis, we now formulate design equations for various reactor types. Detailed expositions of the theory are presented in a number of books, in particular Aris (1965, 1969) and Nauman (1987). Consider a reaction network consisting of N components and M reactions. A set of N ordinary differential equations, one for each component, would be necessary to mathematically describe this system. They may be concisely expressed in the form of Equation 5.5 (Chapter 5), or . . . d(cV)/dt = vrV (11.1) . . . The use of this equation in developing batch reactor equations for a typical complex reaction is illustrated in Example 11.1.

Abstract:
Reactor is a device or vessel within which chemical processes are carried out for experimental or manufacturing purposes. The most common basic types of reactors are tanks (where the reactants mix in the whole volume) and pipes or tubes (for laminar flow reactors and plug flow reactors). Both types can be used as continuous reactors or batch reactors, and either may accommodate one or more solids (reagents, catalysts, or inert materials), but the reagents and products are typically fluids (liquids or gases). Reactors in continuous processes are typically run at steady-state, whereas reactors in batch processes are necessarily operated in a transient state. When a reactor is brought into operation, either for the first time or after a shutdown, it is in a transient state, and key process variables change with time. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the types of the reactors used in the wastewater treatment, modeling ideal, non-ideal flows in the reactor and treatment kinetics. Furthermore, the chapter considers both kinetic and hydrodynamic aspect while designing the reactor.

Abstract:
Ideal reactors and their design principles were discussed in Chapter 4. In addition to these ideal reactors, there are certain reactors in which a reasonably welldefined measure of mixing can be introduced. These are the recycle plug-flow reactor and a sequence of fully mixed reactors. Many organic reactions are conducted in a stirred reactor containing a batch of the same or a second reactant, and continuously feeding, or withdrawing, or feeding and withdrawing one or more of the reactants and/or products. These are referred to as semibatch reactors. They belong to a more general class of reactors known as variable volume reactors. The design of all of these types of reactors is briefly considered in this chapter. The principle of the recycle-flow reactor (RFR) is sketched in Figure 10.1.

Abstract:
In this work, we present a thorough reaction engineering analysis on the modeling of a vortex-flow reactor to show that commonly practiced one-plug reactor approach is not sufficient to explain the flow behavior inside the reactor. Our study shows that N-plug flow reactors in series is the best approach in predicting the flow dynamics based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. We have studied the residence time distribution using CFD by two different methods. The residence time distribution characteristics are calculated by approximating the real reactor as N-ideal reactors in series, and then estimated the number of ideal reactors in series for the model. We have validated our CFD model by comparing the simulation results with experimental results. Finally, we have done a parametric study with a different sweeping gas to identify the best screening gas to avoid carbon deposition inside the vortex-flow reactor. Our results have shown that hydrogen is a better screening gas than argon.

Abstract:
Photobioreactors (PBRs) and chemical reactors are often vertical columns with either circular or rectangular cross sections. The reactors are frequently referred to as column reactors and are treated as if they perform in the same manner. The reactors can have two different types of flow established in them regardless of cross sectional shape depending on the saprger/diffuser type and location within the reactor. The flow patterns in the reactors are induced by gas that is bubbled into the reactor volume usually near the bottom of the reactor. When the gas bubbles rise up through the reactor in a plug flow fashion, most of the mixing is in the radial direction which tends to make the reactor liquid and gas more homogeneous across the width of the reactor. The gas bubbles in the reactor may not move up through the reactor in a plug flow fashion, but may instead move vertically up through a portion of the reactor cross-section. This will establish a column of bubbles and liquid rising from the bottom of the reactor up to the surface and, in turn, induce a column(s) of liquid moving downward from the top of the reactor to the bottom. This behavior is similar to an air lift reactor which generally has walls physically dividing the upward (riser) and downward (down comer) flows. Without physical separation of the flows, the percent of cross sectional area of the reactor acting as the riser and down comer is established by the gas flow rate through the reactor, reactor cross sectional area, and the reactor volume. Velocity of flow(s) in the reactors is often based on the superficial gas velocity, which is the incoming gas flow rate divided by the gross cross sectional area of the reactor volume. This parameter may not relate to the two flows in the same manner. The two different flow patterns will be discussed in relation to superficial gas velocity, light in a PBR, chemical reactions in the reactor, and riser and down comer size.
