GOALI: Faculty Internship in Industry

摘要-比奎特-9523393这笔拨款是为了允许私人投资公司在一个工业研究实验室进行为期一学期的实习。PI和工业研究人员的合作研究的目标是开发技术来快速改革间歇化学反应器的建模、放大和控制。工业研究人员将反应量热法用于研究、开发和安全应用，处理从亚硫酸盐化学到手性多相催化和均相催化氢化等一系列反应的动力学。对于计划中的合作，将使用反应热量计来了解化学反应器中的动力学和热效应。将进行中试规模试验，以确定中试工厂容器的传热特性。模拟和实验控制研究将使用中试工厂反应堆进行。这些结果将被用于制定生产规模反应堆的放大和控制策略。

Abstract - Bequette - 9523393 This grant is to permit the PI to spend a one- semester internship at an industrial research laboratory. The objective of the collaborative research to be done by the PI and the industrial researchers is to develop techniques to rapidly reform batch chemical reactor modeling, scale-up and control. The industrial researchers use reaction calorimetry for research, development and safety applications, treating the kinetics of a wide range of reactions from sulfite chemistry to chiral heterogeneous catalytic and homogeneous catalytic hydrogenations. For the planned collaboration, reaction calorimetry will be used to understand kinetic and heat effects in chemical reactors. Pilot scale tests will be performed to determine the heat transfer characteristics of pilot plant vessels. Simulation and experimental control studies will be performed using pilot plant reactors. These results will be used to develop scale-up and control strategies for production-scale reactors.
