Research

There are several different research projects associated with our lab. They are in the area of chemical reactor engineering, focusing on fixed bed and membrane reactors. We are interested in experimental and theoretical studies of flow, heat transfer and diffusion and mass transfer in these reactors. Much of our current interest is in using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the details of what is going on inside the reactor tubes. In the pages linked to below a short introduction is given for all the different projects with some 'recent' results.

If you would like to know more about some of the projects in the lab please select one of the following links:
