The integration of thermodynamics and transport phenomena is crucial for optimizing chemical processes, especially in catalysis. Thermodynamics focuses on energy conservation, equilibrium, and reaction direction, helping engineers assess reaction feasibility and control conditions to maximize yield and minimize energy use. Transport phenomena, on the other hand, examines mass, energy, and momentum movement through fluids, critical for understanding reactant-catalyst interactions and product removal. In catalytic reactions, mass transfer rates can limit performance, especially with large molecules or in packed bed or slurry catalysts. Heat transfer is also key in exothermic reactions, where poor temperature control can lead to hot spots or catalyst degradation. By combining thermodynamics and transport insights, engineers can develop models to optimize reactor designs, control temperature gradients, and improve reaction efficiency. These principles are essential for designing sustainable processes that minimize energy consumption and environmental impact in industries like chemicals, petrochemicals, and environmental sectors.
