Contributor Stefanidis, G. (mentor) Stankiewicz, A.I. (mentor) Kapteijn, F. (mentor) Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department Process and Energy Programme Intensified Reaction & Separation Systems Date 2012-03-08 Abstract Two novel microwave reactor configurations were tested: - The batch mode configuration resulted in high superheating temperatures for several alcohols and enabled operation in the superheating regime - A new concept, a coiled continuous flow reactor in a single-mode cavity, was successfully built and operated. Compared to current equipment it exhibits increased predictability and control. Furthermore, due to its predictability, it can be optimised and customised in various ways, for instance to boost the intensity, to improve the efficiency or to adapt to specific needs. This makes it a promising alternative for current microwave equipment Subject microwavescontinuous flow microwave reactorssuperheatingsingle-mode To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:43925892-15a3-4318-8224-c6df7f6ea542 Embargo date 2012-04-24 Part of collection Student theses Document type master thesis Rights (c) 2012 Van Braam Houckgeest, A.Q.
