Abstract
For high-temperature applications of a microreactor system the precise temperature control inside the reactor is important to optimize the yield of chemical reactions. If a microreactor system is operated inside a tube furnace, at best a homogeneous temperature distribution will be achieved inside the reactor. Heating elements that are integrated in the reactor have the potential to realize localized heating. Moreover, integrated heaters offer an efficient heating and a more convenient handling. Ohmic resistance heating for a modular ceramic microreactor system was investigated by direct connection and induction heating. The ceramic reactor system was modeled with FEM methods. Heat transfer and stress were calculated and compared with measurements taken.
