The Optimizing Chemical Reactor Performance Using Frustum Geometry: A Comparative Analysis of Gas and Liquid Phase Reactions
Keywords:
Reactor Configurations., Pressure Distribution, Reactor Geometry, FrustumAbstract
This study investigates the impact of reactor geometry on chemical reaction efficiency, focusing on the application of frustum-shaped reactors compared to conventional cylindrical designs. The research examines the performance of gas-phase and liquid-phase reactions, evaluating conversion rates, pressure distribution, and overall reaction effectiveness. The results indicate that while frustum geometry enhances conversion in gas-phase reactions due to its unique pressure distribution, its impact on liquid-phase reactions remains minimal. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing industrial reactor design and improving process efficiency
