An article by Osaka Municipal University lecturer Masuda Hayato, entitled “Learning from the past: Taylor vortex flow,” was published in the December 2024 issue of Chemical Engineering.

Lecturer Masuda is an advisor to the Go-Tech program, which supports advanced research and development through industry-academia collaboration by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and Tipton has been selected for this year’s program on the topic of “Research and development of continuous crystallization mass production technology using Taylor vortex nanoreactors.”

The article describes the journey from the discovery of Taylor vortexes about 100 years ago to applied research in chemical processes, including continuous reactive crystallization.
