Novel mili-scale continuous flow reactors for process intensification.

The aim of this work is to understand interfacial transport processes in porous structures in more detail, and using this knowledge to design milli-scale multiphase flow reactors, in particular using metal foams. This is accomplished by a rational approach, identifying the physical mechanisms of interfacial mass transfer in porous media using non-invasive, laser-optical measurement echniques, and to use these experimental results to validate and develop predictive multiphase flow models for computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The obtained results will directly impact the efforts in process intensification and sustainable advanced manufacturing.
