Computational fluid dynamics study of granular flows KU Leuven
Despite the many advantages of microchemical systems, their increased surface-to-volume ratio leads to difficulties in the handling of solid laden flows. This is especially problematic when solid particles are formed as a by-product of a chemical reaction. In these cases, the amount of solid by-product gradually increases along the axial extent of the microreactor, eventually leading to clogging of the microreactor channels. Specifically, ...
