How Does Vacuum Affect Solid Carryover in a Reactor Vent and Scrubber System?

    Solid Vacuum
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the impact of slight vacuum (~400 mmWC) in a reactor vent connected to a scrubber system on solid carryover. The user seeks a method to calculate the approximate amount of solid that may carry over to the scrubber due to this vacuum. Participants note that the question lacks clarity and request a diagram of the system for better understanding. A simple hand sketch is suggested as sufficient for clarification. Accurate calculations depend on visual representation of the setup.

I have a system, in which Reactor vent is connected to scrubber. Due to which reactor is under slight vacuum, ~400 mmWC

Solid is being charged to the reactor at a very low rate manually.

Is there any way to calculate approximate amount of solid which will get carryover to scrubber due to slight vacuum.

Your question is unclear. We need a diagram showing the system in order to help you.

EDIT: It does not need to be extremely detailed - a hand sketch should be good enough.

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
