Nonlinear model predictive control of a fixed-bed water-gas shift reactor: An experimental study

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental application of nonlinear model-predictive control (NMPC) to a fixed-bed water-gas shift (WGS) reactor was described.

A novel method for determining residence time distribution in intricately structured microreactors.

TL;DR: An approach specially designed for microreactor applications was developed, which employs a tracer 'injection' using the optical activation of a caged fluorescent dye to determine the residence time distribution in microreactors.

Mass transfer enhancement in microchannel reactors by reorientation of fluid interfaces and stretching

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate mass transfer enhancement in micro-channel reactors, through a theoretical mixing study of the currently utilized standard, single-channel T-junction configuration as well as four proposed multi-channel, microreactor configurations.

A dimensionless analysis of residence time distributions for continuous powder mixing

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that the dimensionless RTD is invariant with throughput and impeller rotation rates under certain conditions for two continuous direct compression processes and demonstrate the utility of this relationship for predicting the process dynamics at different operating conditions (i.e., throughputs).

Model-Based Temperature Control of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for the DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst) that can reproduce the complex temperature response of DOC output to changes in input variables such as gas velocity variations, inlet temperature and inlet hydrocarbons.

The Definition and Measurement of Some Characteristics of Mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the important features of such mixtures can be expressed by two statistically defined quantities, the scale and the intensity of segregation, and methods of measuring these are suggested.
