LARGE SCALE CALORIMETRY

摘要

This paper discusses the potential benefits to be gained from accurate measurement of the heat energy output from plant scale reactors. The incorporation of thermocouples and a flow meter into the vessel cooling system permits accurate measurement of the plant scale heat energy output rate and thereby provides an accurate measure of the accumulation of reagents at any given time. This procedure permits safer working and improved understanding of the chemical manufacturing process. The potential benefits from modification of plant scale reactors include a reduced number of incidents in the chemical industry together with improved optimisation of the process on the plant.
