FAQ

What is the Space Velocity?

The Space Velocity of a reactor gives us the number of reactor volumes that can be treated per unit time. Space Velocity is usually measured using the Cycle per Second for Frequency. Note that the value of Space Velocity is always positive.

Can the Space Velocity be negative?

No, the Space Velocity, measured in Frequency cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Space Velocity?

Space Velocity is usually measured using the Cycle per Second[cycle/s] for Frequency. Hertz[cycle/s], Petahertz[cycle/s], Terahertz[cycle/s] are the few other units in which Space Velocity can be measured.
