Resumen:
A
corrugated wall photocatalytic reactor for air pollution treatment has been
studied. The reactor consists of a series of triangular section channels
operating in continuous mode. The effect of the folding angle on the rector
performance was addressed. The efficiency in radiation use was evaluated by
means of different reactor models and the experimental pollutant conversion. The
modelling was achieved through the use of local view factor computations, the
ray tracing method, computational fluid dynamics and numerical programming
tools. Results indicate the existence of an optimum angle within the range 15°-30°,
where the performance parameters showed their most suitable values. The
approach probed to be accurate and flexible for further optimization and design
of a larger scale reactor.
