IMPINGING STREAMS various flow configurations

Starting with the elements necessarily included, the concept of impinging streams can be extended to include various flow configurations. Tamir el al. [5] investigated a number of impinging stream contactors with different flow configurations and the... 

Figure 1 represents the basic principles of gas-solid impinging streams, and also its essential structure as originally designed. On the basis of the essential structure, various devices can be constructed by extending the idea of impinging streams. Two extension schemes of IS have been proposed extension of the flow configuration and extension of the phase conditions of the substance systems involved, as described below. 

The above modeling is applied to numerous flow configurations which have appeared in various Chemical Engineering textbooks as well as additional ones of particular interest, i.e. impinging-stream reactors [73]. In general, any flow configurations under consideration will consist of a series of perfectly-mixed reactors, plug-flow reactors, dead water elements as well as recycle streams, by pass and cross flow etc., or part of the above.
