Course abstract

Multiphase flow reactors are critically important many industries like, chemical, petroleum, petrochemicals, food, pharmaceuticals etc. The performances of these reactors largely depend on the interactions of different phases involved. In this course basic of Multiphase flow along with different flow regime map and pressure drop, and volume fraction calculation will be covered. Further, the interaction between different phases at different scales will be discussed. Modelling methods used for multiphase flow reactors will be covered. Finally, different type of multiphase flow reactors will be introduced and their functioning, advantage and disadvantages and challenges along with future direction of research will be discussed.
