Mass transport and residence time characteristics of an oscillatory flow electrochemical reactor

摘要

The mass transport and residence time characteristics of a parallel-plate oscillatory flow reactor have been investigated conditions,including variations in oscillation frequency,oscillation amplitude,net flow rate and flow geometry.Under certain conditions,oscillatory flow has bene found to give enhancement of mass transport rates in excess of an order of magnitude.The residence time distribution (RTD) response to the injection of an electrochemical tracer has been determined,and results are compared with that predicted by the axial dispersion model.
