20038 Experimental Verification of Multiphase Reaction Engineering Models
OverviewThe primary focus of this session is to provide a forum where experimental methods for multiphase reacting systems are used as a means of validating theoretical models for multiphase reactors. The challenges of obtaining detailed data generated by advanced models for purposes of validation are also discussed.
