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.
Dr. Rajesh Kumar Upadhyay, is serving as Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. He has joined the IIT Guwahati as an Assistant Professor in July 2010 after completing his from IIT Delhi. During his PhD he has worked on development of Radioactive particle tracking technique and implemented the same on different multiphase flow reactors like gas-liquid, gas-solids and gas-liquid-solids system. He has used several flow measurement techniques since he has joined IIT Guwahati and has expertise in radiation based technique.
