  • PLATE ELEMENT FOR REACTION MODULES OR SYSTEMS AND CORRESPONDING PROCESSES
    Publication number: 20250114766
    Abstract: The present invention relates to plate elements for the construction of a reactor module for carrying out endothermic reactions at high temperatures, the plate elements being designed in such a way that all reactant gases are heated by flowing around heating elements and the reaction zone is heated at the same time. The present invention also relates to reactor modules and reactor systems using the plate elements according to the invention pressed against each other, as well as the corresponding methods for efficiently carrying out endothermic chemical reactions, in particular the rWGS reaction.

  • Method for determining at least one mechanical property of at least one object
    Patent number: 11514589
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for determining at least one mechanical property of at least one object, wherein the at least one object is subjected to at least one interaction which influences a movement state of the at least one object, wherein the at least one interaction is selected such that the movement state effectuated by the interaction is a function of the at least one mechanical property, wherein the at least one object is observed using at least one camera, wherein the movement state is determined from images recorded by the at least one camera and wherein the at least one mechanical property of the at least one object is determined from the movement state thus determined.
