AI Thread Summary
To reduce the heat from diesel exhaust gases before passing them into a sodium hydroxide solution, a counter-current heat exchanger is recommended. This system can cool the exhaust while simultaneously preheating the induction air for the burners. A coaxial tube design could be effective for managing the exhaust and air input. The carbonization reactor operates at 500°C and 10 bar, necessitating careful temperature control to capture CO2 efficiently. Implementing these strategies will enhance the zero emissions and zero waste goals of the prototype reactor unit.

I am building a Rapid Pulse Carbonation prototype Reactor unit, I am capturing the Steam form the process and passing it though a Plate and Tube condenser to produce water, also I will capture the CO2 gas from the heating system. How would I reduce the exhaust gas heat before I pass the exhaust gases into my Sodium Hydroxide solution

You'll have to explain what you are doing more clearly before anyone can give you a sensible answer .
 
The carbonisation reactor needs to be heated to 500C at a pressure of 10 bar...the system is zero emmissions and zero waste..to heat the reactor to the 500C i need to use either 1 or 2 diesel burners ...but i want to capture the CO2 gases which are hot...these exchaust gases need to go to a sodium hydroxide tank which captures the CO2 and converts to sodium bicarbonate ...i need to cool the gases before they enter the sodium hydroxide solution...the exchaust pipe may be around 3" / 75mm dia what cooling chamber would i need ..keeping in mind that the housing for this RPC system is 6mt x 2.4mt

Use a counter-current heat exchanger to cool the exhaust by preheating the induction air to the burners. Consider a coaxial tube for the exhaust and air input.

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...
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...
