OK. I can't give you every last detail because they don't provide all the details. But, it goes something like this. Each parcel of fluid passing through the reactor has to receive a certain minimum solar UV radiation dosage. To do this, they vary the water flow rate so that, as the solar flux decreases, the flow rate also decreases in proportion. There is going to be a certain minimum value of the total pipe volume and surface area necessary to achieve the desired cumulative radiation dosage over all radiation conditions and associated flow rates. This determines the design of the reactor.hpc2016 said:Yes, also given the inactivation constant, the pipe diameter and the initial water quality.
The reactor length was determined through a series of calculations and simulations based on the desired output and the physical properties of the reactor components.
Factors such as the desired reaction rate, reactant concentrations, temperature, pressure, and flow rate were all taken into account when determining the reactor length.
The reactor length is important because it directly affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the reaction taking place. A properly sized reactor length ensures optimal conversion of reactants into products.
Yes, the reactor length can be adjusted or changed to optimize the reaction conditions or to accommodate changes in the process.
There is no one standard method for determining reactor length as it depends on the specific reaction and process conditions. However, there are various mathematical models and software programs that can aid in the determination of reactor length.
