Abstract

Exptl. investigations of the thermal bulk polymn. of styrene (I) in pilot plants of different sizes were done. Each pilot plant consisted of a tubular recycle reactor connected in series with a tubular reactor, both completely filled with Sulzer motionless mixers. Kinetic, reactor, and viscosity models were verified at I conversions ?96%, temps. ?210 Deg, and polystyrene mol. wts. ?360,000. Scale-up studies were done which confirmed that multitubular reactors of special design could be applied for industrial polymn. processes. [on SciFinder (R)]

Chemical reactor

A chemical reactor is an enclosed volume in which a chemical reaction takes place. In chemical engineering, it is generally understood to be a process vessel used to carry out a chemical reaction, which is one of the classic unit operations in chemical process analysis. The design of a chemical reactor deals with multiple aspects of chemical engineering. Chemical engineers design reactors to maximize net present value for the given reaction.

Nuclear reactor

A nuclear reactor is a device used to initiate and control a fission nuclear chain reaction or nuclear fusion reactions. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in nuclear marine propulsion. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which in turn runs through steam turbines. These either drive a ship's propellers or turn electrical generators' shafts. Nuclear generated steam in principle can be used for industrial process heat or for district heating.

Breeder reactor

A breeder reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates more fissile material than it consumes. These reactors can be fuelled with more commonly available isotopes of uranium and thorium, such as uranium-238 or thorium-232, as opposed to the rare uranium-235 which is used in conventional reactors. These materials are called fertile materials since they can be bred into fuel by these breeder reactors. Breeder reactors achieve this because their neutron economy is high enough to create more fissile fuel than they use.
