Study on the Various Geometry Configurations of a MicroChannel for Ammonia Synthesis

The conventional method to produce ammonia employs the Haber-Bosch process at high pressure and temperature with aid of iron or iron oxide catalyst. These working conditions not only consumes tremendous amount of energy, it has higher safety risk, in addition to not achieving very high conversion an...
