01D03 Transport and Reaction in Heterogeneous and Porous Systems
OverviewThis session focuses particularly on coupled transport and reaction processes. Many of the papers are concerned with these processes in catalysts, however the session is more general than that and includes transport and reaction in any dispersed, multiphase system.
