[0002] The working principle of a chemical reactor is to fully mix and contact the reactants in a relatively closed reactor body through a stirring device, and to cause a chemical reaction under appropriate temperature, pressure and other conditions. For example, in the field of petrochemicals, reactors are used in the refining process of crude oil, such as hydrocracking reactions. In a hydrocracking reactor, by adding hydrogen, under the action of high temperature, high pressure and catalysts, large molecular hydrocarbon compounds are cracked into small molecular hydrocarbons, thereby increasing the yield of light oil products such as gasoline and diesel.
