2 Agenda Accelerated Chemistry with the STT System. 1. Discovery 2. Patented STT Technology 3. Research 4. Application 2
3 Sometimes we stumble onto amazing phenomena by accident. 3
4 Discovery Initial Perplexing Discovery In 1999, using a nanomill to make highly loaded thermoplastics, found chemical reactions occurring in hours that normally take years. 4
5 Discovery In 2000, using a clear glass tube and metal rotor, discovered conditions in a Couette type reactor where Taylor rings were no longer present and chemical reactions were accelerated. Discovery became the basis for the first of many patent applications for the STT System. 5
6 Flow Regimes in Pipes D = Inside Diameter in meters V = Velocity in meters/ sec ϒ = Kinematic Viscosity in meters 2 / sec Re = Reynolds Number - Dimensionless 6
7 Flow Regimes in Rotating Systems Calculation of Reynolds number in rotating systems Re i = the inter cylinder Reynolds Number = Re i = a(b-a) Ω i /v Re o = the outer cylinder Reynolds Number = Re o = b(b-a) Ω o /v a = inter cylinder radius in mm b = outer cylinder radius in mm Ω = Angular velocity in mm/sec V = Kinematic viscosity mm 2 /sec 1. Laminar Flow RE < 1, Transitional Flow 1,000 < Re < 10, Turbulent Flow Re > 10,000 7

51 For the reaction of acetic acid and ethyl alcohol to produce ethyl acetate and water in ChemCad Induce a sinusoidal change in the acetic acid feed. STT 51
52 Because of the sinusoidal change in the feed rate the output of product out of the reactor is also sinusoidal. The actual volume of the reactor is near zero. Thus there is no reactor volume to dampen the changing feed. 52
53 Future Work 1. Start a simulation with ChemCad 2. Before Reactor dump feed streams and properties into Excel 3. Comsol picks up feed streams and properties from Excel and calculates STT output 4. Comsol dumps output into Excel 5. ChemCad picks up stream data from Excel and moves on to the next unit operation 53
