06009 Novel Computational and Experimental Methods in Multiphase Mixing
OverviewThis session focuses on approaches to biochemical and chemical reactor design and modeling using novel computational and experimental methods. Of particular interest in this session is multiphase flow in these reactors. The theme of the session is the improved design and analysis of (bio-)chemical or (bio-)chemical reactors or processes, by more accurate prediction of the momentum, heat and mass transfer within them. We encourage papers that focus on novel applications of modeling and experimental techniques for (bio-)chemical reactor design, scale up and optimization. Contributions can range from fundamental studies to improvement of existing techniques and models, with emphasis on application to industrial processes.
