Abstract:
Disclosed is a technology based upon the nesting of tubes to provide chemical reactors or chemical reactors with built in heat exchanger. As a chemical reactor, the technology provides the ability to manage the temperature within a process flow for improved performance, control the location of reactions for corrosion control, or implement multiple process steps within the same piece of equipment. As a chemical reactor with built in heat exchanger, the technology can provide large surface areas per unit volume and large heat transfer coefficients. The technology can recover the thermal energy from the product flow to heat the reactant flow to the reactant temperature, significantly reducing the energy needs for accomplishment of a process.

Claim (Index 20):
The process of  claim 19 , wherein:\n the second tube and a third tube define a portion of a third flow path, the third tube is characterized by a third diameter, the third diameter is greater than the second diameter, the third tube has a third end and a fourth end, the third end is closest to the first end, and an exit port is at the fourth end, further comprising: flowing a coolant through the third flow path, transferring heat from the product to the coolant, and flowing the coolant through the exit port.
