[PROJECT] MHETSCALE - Mixing in Heterogeneous Media Across Spatial and Temporal Scales: From Local Non-Equilibrium to Anomalous Chemical Transport and Dynamic Uncertainty
ID: 617511
Start date: 2014-04-01, End date: 2019-03-31
Transport, mixing and reaction of solutes and particles in natural media are of central importance in many fields of science and engineering, ranging from contaminant dispersion in geophysical flows to diffusion in living cells. Transport in these intrinsically heterogeneous ...

[PROJECT] HECTOR - MICROWAVE-ASSISTED MICROREACTORS: DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGHLY EFFICIENT GAS PHASE CONTACTOR WITH DIRECT CATALYST HEATING
ID: 267626
Start date: 2011-03-01, End date: 2017-02-28
While heterogeneous catalysis is often considered a mature science, the so-called enabling technologies are often able to produce significant enhancements in the rate of reaction or in the selectivity towards a given product. Two of these enabling technologies constitute the ...

[PROJECT] MULTIFLOW - Multiscale dynamics of turbulent flows
ID: 267690
Start date: 2011-02-01, End date: 2016-01-31
Turbulence is a fundamental unsolved problem, at whose core are the multiscale processes that transfer, for example, energy across the inertial range of scales, or momentum across wall-bounded shear flows. Turbulence is also key to applications, from industrial design and ene...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Final Report Summary - HECTOR (MICROWAVE-ASSISTED MICROREACTORS: DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGHLY EFFICIENT GAS PHASE CONTACTOR WITH DIRECT CATALYST HEATING)
The focus of project HECTOR is the design of heterogeneous solid-gas catalytic reactors where a suitably designed catalyst can be directly heated using electromagnetic radiation. This replaces the conventional heating sequence (reactor wall - reaction fluid - catalyst) by a...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Mid-Term Report Summary - HECTOR (MICROWAVE-ASSISTED MICROREACTORS: DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGHLY EFFICIENT GAS PHASE CONTACTOR WITH DIRECT CATALYST HEATING)
The aim of project HECTOR is the development of a new type of catalytic reactor in which energy is directly supplied to the catalyst using microwaves. To this end, a new reactor (and catalyst) design is needed to enable direct heating of the catalyst sites while maintaining...
