Calibration and Measurement Techniques

Scattering phenomena in photosensitized reactions are considered for continuous processes. A Monte Carlo approach is used to solve the radiant energy balance equation and to get the distribution of the local rate of energy absorption as a function of the most significant parameters. Scattering is found to reduce the achievable conversion in all the situations except that of the practically relevant case where completely segregated flow, coupled to high optical thickness, occurs.
