Online conductivity measurement of residence time distribution of thin film flow in the spinning disc reactor
This is the very first paper to report on quantitative macromixing characterisation of fluid in a spinning disc reactor (SDR), conclusively establishing for the very first time the operating conditions for plug-flow behaviour. These results will be instrumental in modelling of reactions in the SDR flow field, to be undertaken to evaluate process intensification in early stage processes, a 3-year collaborative project between - Newcastle University and ICES, Singapore, recently awarded by GSK and the Economic Development Board (EDB) in Singapore, under the Green and Sustainable Manufacturing (GSM) programme (http://www.ace.gsk.com/GSM/Home.aspx)
