Study of the kinetics and thermodynamics of chemical reactions in supercritical fluids. MSC

Abstract:
The study of the kinetics and thermodynamics of chemical reactions in supercritical fluids has gained significant attention in recent years due to the unique properties and potential applications of these fluids. Supercritical fluids exhibit properties intermediate between gases and liquids, such as high diffusivity, low viscosity, and tunable density. This research aims to investigate the fundamental aspects of chemical reactions in supercritical fluids, including reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and mass transfer phenomena. The findings from this study will contribute to the development of efficient and sustainable processes in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, energy, and materials.
