ABSTRACT
Figure 1 illustrates a 2-D simulation model comprising 36 flow channels. The channel width, height, and length are 0.7, 0.7 and 133 mm, respectively. Hence, the hydraulic diameter of a channel is 0.7 mm. The diffuser length is defined as L. In order to decrease wall slip effect of the diffuser, two walls at the edge (E. Vasquez-Alvarez 2010) of the reactor are added to the design.
