Modeling of Chemical Kinetics and Reactor Design

Dear Colleagues,

Chemical reactors are one of the most widely used operation units in the chemical industry and related industries. Many processes such as reactions, heat transfer, component transfer, etc. will affect the operation of the reactors. The dynamic processes inside the chemical reactors are described as a branch of transport phenomena based on the well-known principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy for each phase. A detailed design of the reactors requires a deep understanding of these processes. Computer-aided modeling and simulation have already proved to be powerful tools to achieve these purposes. The design of the multiphase-flow reactors is particularly challenging. In these systems, the immiscible dispersed phase (e.g., solid particles or liquid droplets) is distributed through a continuous phase and they are typically classified based upon the size of the dispersed phase. The flow in these types of reactors depends on a multitude of effects of properties of both gas, liquid and solid phases and their interactions.

This Special Issue aims to encourage scientists and engineers to publish their experimental and theoretical results in the field of modeling and simulation of chemical reactors. We invite relevant experts and colleagues to contribute papers that can reflect the latest progress in this research field. Communications, full research papers, and review papers are acceptable formats for the submission of manuscripts.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. ChemEngineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
