Estimation of Outlet Temperature of a Flow Reactor Heated by Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

Flow reactors heated by microwave irradiation attract attention. The reactors are suitable for difficult synthesis processes due to rapid heating and cooling, and easy pressurization. In order to predict the quality of the product, it is appropriate to estimate the outlet conditions of the reactor. In this paper, the outlet temperature of the flow direction is estimated by using the flow condition and dynamic thermal energy balance of the reactor.
