Abstract:Residence time distribution (RTD) is an essential hydrodynamic prerequisite for the appropriate modeling of reactors. Our previous study designed a spinning disk reactor (SDR) for intensifying photochemical processes with disk configurations of elliptic-cylindrical spoilers (ES) and cylindrical spoilers (CS). Herein, RTD of the tailored SDRs was numerically studied using a pulse input method after verification with experimentally measured RTD curves in the previous literature. Mean residence time (t m ) and di… Show more
