Leveraging Microthermometry for Thermally Coupling Tandem Reactions — NSF Award to University of Rochester (NY, $482,077)
Many factories in the United States use materials called catalysts to speed up chemical reactions to make fuels, plastics, and other everyday products. A major cost in these manufacturing processes is managing heat inside chemical reactors. Some reactions require heat to occur, but others release heat. The heat that is

| Abstract | Many factories in the United States use materials called catalysts to speed up chemical reactions to make fuels, plastics, and other everyday products. A major cost in these manufacturing processes is managing heat inside chemical reactors. Some reactions require heat to occur, but others release heat. The heat that is produced is often wasted instead of being reused. This project will study how heat moves inside chemical reactors so that heat produced by one reaction can be used to power anothe |
