TURBOMACHINE TYPE CHEMICAL REACTOR

A turbomachine type chemical reactor for processing a process fluid is presented. The turbomachine type chemical reactor includes at least one impeller section and a stationary diffuser section arranged downstream. The impeller section accelerates the process fluid to a supersonic flow. A shock wave is generated in the stationary diffuser section that instantaneously increases static temperature of the process fluid downstream the shock wave for processing the process fluid. Static pressure of the process fluid is simultaneously increased across the shock wave. The turbomachine type chemical reactor significantly reduces residence time of the process fluid in the chemical reactor and improves efficiency of the chemical reactor. 提出了一种用于处理过程流体的涡轮机型化学反应器。该涡轮机型化学反应器包括至少一个叶轮部分和设置在下游的固定式扩散器部分。叶轮部分将过程流体加速为超音速流。在固定式扩散器部分中产生冲击波，该冲击波使该冲击波下游的过程流体的静态温度瞬间增加，以用于处理过程流体。穿过冲击波，过程流体的静态压力同时增加。该涡轮机型化学反应器显著减少了过程流体在化学反应器中的停留时间，并提高了化学反应器的效率。
