Chemical Reactor Dynamics

Friday, November 13, 2009: 12:30 PM
Governor's Chamber A (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:
This session will highlight recent advances in experiments and modeling of reaction systems and reactors with emphasis on spatio-temporal patterns and deliberate unsteady state operation of reactors. The scope of papers can include observation, prediction and analysis of multiple steady-states, flow instabilities, periodic/quasi-periodic or aperiodic spatial, temporal or spatio-temporal pattern formation, micro or global kinetic modeling of specific reaction systems, modeling and analysis complex catalytic and multi-phase reactors, and the development of new analysis, measurement or simulation techniques.
