Factors Affecting Chemical Reactor Design

02/01/2023 By R.C. Costello

Traditional Reactor Design "The following discusses many factors that impact the design of a chemical reactor: Kinetics of reaction drives the design of the reactor, as the rate of chemical reaction determines the size and shape of the reactor. Reactant concentrations impact the design of the reactor, with a higher concentration leading to a faster reaction rate. … [Read more...]

The Chemistry of Slime

04/01/2018 By R.C. Costello

Introduction Originally, Slime was a toy product manufactured by Mattel, sold in a plastic trash can and introduced in February 1976. It consisted of a non-toxic viscous, squishy and oozy green or other color material made primarily from guar gum. Today, children everywhere have discovered how to make their own slime by using Elmer's glue.  So what exactly is in Elmer's … [Read more...]

The Chemistry and Physics of Rocket Engines

10/26/2017 By R.C. Costello

Propellants and oxidizers can be produced in modular plants near your rocket launch site. Chemical Propulsion The chemistry of traditional rocket engines is best described as combustion.  Over the years many chemical systems have been used, which include but are not limited to: Propellent Hydrazine Highly Refined kerosene (RP-1) Liquid Hydrogen Highly … [Read more...]

Ferrofluids as Catalysts in the Process Industries

07/27/2017 By R.C. Costello

This document connects three research subjects concerning ferrofluids, i.e. the synthesis and use of catalytic magnetic colloids, process intensification and ferrofluids in general. Ferrofluids are nano particles of magnetite suspended in an aqueous or oily based substrate. They are made from a mixture of FeCl2, FeCl3 and water. Co-precipitation occurs with the addition of … [Read more...]
