Ammonia Oxidation

• What is ammonia oxidation? Find out about this reaction, what it produces
• How is nitric oxide used? Now that you've oxidized ammonia, what next?

Microreactor

• What is a microreactor? How big is it, when and why would you use it
• Continuous or batch? Do microreactors come in different flavors?
• How do you make a microreactor? Don't try this at home!
• How do you add the catalyst? It isn't cheap, so hold on to it!

Transport Phenomena

• What exactly are "transport phenomena"?
• Why do people group these together?
• What does that mean, though?
• OK, then how are they all related?
• Give me the math!
• Driving Force Equations
• Conservation of Mass and Energy

Matlab Simulation

• Introduction
• Can we neglect the side reactions?
• How does the temperature affect the reactions?
• How does the temperature change along the reactor?
• What's the pressure drop effect?

FIDAP Simulation

• Introduction
• Results
  • Base case
  • Case 1 - Changing the temperature
  • Case 2 - Changing inlet NH3 concentration
  • Case 3 - Changing Re
  • Case 4 - Heating the channel
  • Case 5 - One-dimensional assumption
