Generally, all practical reactions occur by a sequence of elementary steps that collectively constitute the mechanism. The rate equation for the overall reaction is developed from the mechanism and is then used in reactor design. Although there are cases where experimental data provide no information about intermediate chemical species, experimental data have provided researchers with useful guidelines in postulating reaction mechanisms. Information about intermediate species is essential in identifying the correct mechanism of reaction. Where many steps are used, different mechanisms can produce similar forms of overall rate expression. The overall rate equation is the result...

This paper uses pyrolysis products from an air-blown, fluidized-bed reactor designed to produce liquids for use in adhesives as an illustration of what might be produced, separated and sold commercially for higher value. Guidelines for chemicals production and product recovery are suggested for pyrolysis processes in general. Recommended research and development topics to aid commercialization and increase chemical product recovery and project cash flow are presented. 

Further development of reactor design is hampered by a lack of appropriate theory of some elementary phenomena. This situation leads to empirical correlations that may be of some practical use. Systems approach aids in creating a guideline for rational bioreactor design, especially on the basis of sound biological theory.

In terms of industrial use, the aforementioned three-phase slurry reactors are in themselves amenable for qualitative comparison in terms of their physical attributes and the various operating parameters. While the specifics of these attributes are determined by the process chemistry and detailed design (guidelines to which is discussed later in this chapter), Table 6.4 provides at a glance qualitative comparison of these attributes.

In many gas-solid systems with fast chemical reactions, the overall rate is found to be controlled by mass transport between the reaction surface and the bulk fluid. Moreover, the rate of mass transport is an important quantity in heterogeneous systems in that it represents the maximum overall rate attainable, and hence provides a useful guideline for reactor design and performance. 

Analysis of thermal runaway reactions is reviewed in Chapter 12. Table 4-6 gives various guidelines for the design of reactors and Figure 4-26 illustrates various reactor configurations. 

It is always important to choose an optimum design configuration of the hydrodynamic cavitation reactor so as to maximize the cavitational effects and achieve cost effective operation. In this section, we will discuss available reactor configurations and give some guidelines, based on theoretical analysis coupled with experimental results, for selection of optimum design and operating parameters for hydrodynamic cavitation reactors. 

It is more difficult to develop general guidelines regarding the selection and design of a reactor for a series-parallel reaction network than for a parallel-reaction or a series-reaction network separately. It is still necessary to take into account the relative...
