In this study of catalytic microfluidic reactors we show that, when optimally structured, these reactors share underlying scaling properties. The scaling is predicted theoretically and verified numerically. Furthermore, we show how to increase the reaction rate significantly by distributing the active porous material within the reactor using a high-level implementation of topology optimization.
在这项关于催化微流控反应器的研究中,我们表明,当结构优化时,这些反应器具有潜在的缩放特性。这种缩放特性在理论上得到了预测,并通过数值方法得到了验证。此外,我们展示了如何通过使用拓扑优化的高级实现方式,在反应器内部分布活性多孔材料,从而显著提高反应速率。
