Popis: | Planet Earth, precisely speaking its surface shell, might be considered as a huge, multiphase, batch, biochemical reactor heated by the Sun, whose energy is a unique resource. The Sun ensures our earthly life unconditionally; moreover, it compensates the heat losses of the land, water and ice by radiation emitted from the Earth surface to its surrounding space at night. It is evident that in this macro-reactor the complex transport phenomena occurs in many phases; involving mass, heat and momentum. Obviously such a responsive batch system is strongly limited by raw resources of all elements including carbon materials necessary for good living standard and utilized both in the energy production and for industrial main chemical processes. |
