摘要:
A microchannel polymerization reactor comprising: (a) a first microchannel adapted to carry a reactant stream; (b) a fluid conduit adapted to carry a fluid in thermal communication with the first microchannel; and (c) a static mixer in fluid communication with the first microchannel adapted to provide a mixing zone operative to change the cross-sectional fluid flow profile at a predetermined point along the first microchannel without changing the primary direction of the reactant stream through the first microchannel. The present invention also includes a method of carrying out a polymerization reaction within a microchannel reactor comprising: (i) directing at least one of monomer, initiator, water, surfactant, coagulant, and solvent into a reactant stream and into contact with reactant flowing within a first microchannel to initiate a polymerization reaction occurring within a first microchannel; and (ii) mixing the reactant of the reactant stream by positioning at least one static mixer in series with the reactant stream, where the static mixer is adapted to change a cross-sectional fluid flow profile of the reactant stream flowing through the first microchannel without changing a primary direction of the reactant stream through the first microchannel.

The disclosed invention relates to a process for conducting an equilibrium limited chemical reaction in a microchannel reactor (100). The process involves the use of active heat exchange (130, 132) and is suitable for conducting exothermic and endothermic reactions. The process comprises flowing the reactant composition through at least two reaction zones (116, 118) having a catalytic material (which may be the same or different). The process is particularly suitable for synthesizing methanol and dimethyl ether.

A parallel chemical production system (110) producing a desired product by operating a plurality of reactors (124a-124d) in parallel. The fluidic properties of each of the reactors (124a-124d) is identical to the properties of a test reactor employed to determine conditions for producing the product, to facilitate scaling up production. In one embodiment, the production system (110) is configured such that at least one reactor (124a-124d) is always offline for servicing and use as a backup. If sensors (548a, 548b) detect less than optimal conditions in any reactor (124a-124d), the reactor (124a-124d) is taken offline and serviced while a previously designated backup reactor (124a-124d) is placed online to maintain continuous production. Another aspect involves arranging the reactors (234) in a concentric configuration to facilitate equal fluid distribution.

Described herein are fuel cell systems (10, 400, 420, 440, 460) and methods of using fuel cell systems. The systems include a fuel cell (20) that generates electrical energy using hydrogen and a fuel processor (15) that produces hydrogen from a fuel source (16). The fuel processor (15) includes a reformer (32) and a burner (30) that heats the reformer (32). One heat efficient fuel cell system described herein heats internal portions of a fuel cell (20) using a heating medium from a fuel processor (15). The heating medium may comprise gases exhausted at high temperatures from the fuel processor (15), which are then transported to the fuel cell (20). The heating medium may also include a gas that reacts catalytically in the fuel cell (20) to produce heat. Systems and methods for expediting fuel cell system start up are provided. Methods for shutting down a fuel cell system are also described that reduce the amount of moisture and gases in the reformer (32) and in one or more fuel cell components. One hydrogen efficient fuel cell system described herein transports hydrogen to an inlet of a burner (30). The hydrogen may comprise unused hydrogen from a fuel cell (20)and/or hydrogen produced in a reformer (32). The burner (30) comprises a catalyst that facilitates production of heat in the presence of the hydrogen.

Described herein is a fuel processor that produces hydrogen from a fuel source. The fuel processor comprises a reformer and burner. The reformer includes a catalyst that facilitates the production of hydrogen from the fuel source. Voluminous reformer chamber designs are provided that increase the amount of catalyst that can be used in a reformer and increase hydrogen output for a given fuel processor size. The burner provides heat to the reformer. One or more burners may be configured to surround a reformer on multiple sides to increase thermal transfer to the reformer. Dewars are also described that increase thermal management of a fuel processor and increase burner efficiency. A dewar includes one or more dewar chambers that receive inlet air before a burner receives the air. The dewar is arranged such that air passing through the dewar chamber intercepts heat generated in the burner before the heat escapes the fuel processor.

摘要:
An integrated heat exchange system on a microfluidic card. According to one aspect of the invention, the portable microfluidic card has a heating, cooling and heat cycling system on-board such that the card can be used portably. The microfluidic card includes one or more reservoirs containing exothermic or endothermic material. Once the chemical process of the reservoir material is activated, the reservoir provides heat or cooling to specific locations of the microfluidic card. Multiple reservoirs may be included on a single card to provide varying temperatures. The assay chemicals can be moved to the various reservoirs to create a thermal cycle useful in many biological reactions, for example, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or rtPCR. According to another aspect of the invention, the integrated heat exchanger is an adjacent microfluidic circuit containing fluid that is either independently heated or cooled, or is an exothermic or endothermic material, such that the fluid in the adjacent circuit imparts a change in temperature to the assay fluid in an independent circuit. According to yet another aspect of the invention, a thermal electric cooler (TEC) is used for thermocycling the amplification chamber of a disposable microfluidic card.
