1202. GITTIG, M. Exothermic Reaction Techniques. Petrol. Processing, vol. 5, No. 10, 1950, pp. 1080-1082. Exothermic reaction techniques are classified and their application for heat-removal and control purposes in commercial chemical processes reviewed. The use of fluidized solids reactors in the Fischer-Tropsch process has served to greatly reduce the total volume of cooling surface required. Since a rocket motor is essentially an exothermic reactor, the application of the same principle in chemical-process reactor design is considered a possibility. The injection of various fluids as temperature-control mediums in exothermic gas reactions has been patented. |
