Nonuniform radiation modeling of a corrugated plate photocatalytic reactor
Corrugated plate photocatalytic reactors provide a promising photoreactor design due to its potential in enhancing energy efficiency. A detailed model of such reactors is needed,for engineering applications and process design. The model for the light absorption in a corrugated plate reactor using a nonuniform radiation source is developed based on first principles. The local area-specific rate of energy absorption (LASREA) distribution on the corrugated plates is examined via simulation. The effect of the design parameters on LA SREA is investigated. The results from this research provide feasible basis for design and optimization of corrugated plate photoreactors. (c) 2005 American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
