Traditional solid materials ... highlighted the DIFFER team. For fusion reactors, a thin, engineered liquid metal layer could be designed to flow across a supporting mesh structure.

The behavior of two or more CSTRs operating in sequence as a cascade can resemble that of a plug flow reactor (PFR). In contrast to a batch reactor, this allows for continuous flow reactions with ...

It was found that not only liquids, but also gases and solids — including heterogeneous catalysts — could be used in flow reactors, and that the most common transformations had proved amenable ...

So why would you want your fuel to be fluid rather than a solid pellet like in most reactors today ... for ‘wasteburner’. This uses liquid fuel rods, suspended in a salt coolant pool, that ...

A current focus in the lab includes developing a fundamental understanding of the fluidized bed reactor ... liquid phase sintering. Computational research within the Musgrave research group ...

Flow reactors hold the potential to transform polymerization with automation, high throughput, and AI-driven discovery. But transitioning from traditional batch synthesis to a flow-based system ...

This gives solids a fixed shape and means that they cannot flow like liquids. The hotter a solid gets, the faster its particles vibrate. This means that solids expand when they are heated.
