A Review on the Multiscale Integrated Approach in Multiphase Reaction Engineering and Process Intensification: Sustainable Energy and Process Design

Bansi Kansagra, Sandeep Rai

Abstract


Abstract: Multiphase reaction engineering and process is important path for conversion of natural resources into fuels and chemicals to reduce greenhouse gas emission and increasing energy supply to meet growing global demand. This requires multiphase reactor design and modeling development for methane conversion into chemical building blocks, upgrading heavy oil and carbon capture. This multiphase reactor modeling involves the multiscale approach, which requires the knowledge of how phenomena at a smaller length scale relates to the properties and behavior at a longer length scale. This phenomena can be defined as the triplet “Molecular process-product-process (3PE)” integrated multiscale approach. This requires “green” product-process design 3PE approach that includes a multidisciplinary and time and length multiscale integrated approach to the complex simultaneous and coupled with transport phenomena and molecular processes taking place on the different scales. This knowledge can be obtained by implementation of multiscale application of computational chemical engineering modeling and simulation to real situations.
