Process design and control plays a significant role in modern industries. Most processes and reactors are very complex, as they usually involve not only multiphase flows but also heat and mass transfers related to chemical reactions and their interactions – the so-called reacting flow. The operation must be optimised in order to be competitive and sustainable, particularly under the more and more demanding economic and environmental conditions. This will need continuous innovative research and development. Computer simulation and modelling, supported by online data and experiments, has emerged as an indispensable adjunct to the traditional modes of investigation for design, control and optimisation of processes, reactors, and devices.
In this presentation Prof Yansong Shen (from the Process Modelling and Optimisation Group in the UNSW School of Chemical Engineering) will report his core research on process modelling of reacting flows and the applications to a range of complex processes and reactors in conventional and emerging industries. Several examples of industry applications will be used for demonstration. The modelling works are indeed helpful to understand fundamentals and optimise & develop new, cleaner and more efficient technologies with measurable industrial outcomes.
This seminar will be followed by a Q&A. For more information about ResTech please visit our website.
