CO2 Reduction Reactor Cross-Section: Sabatier vs Bosch (2D)

This is the 2D companion to the 3D CO2-reduction reactor design tool: the same reactor chemistry, efficiency math and resupply-mass accounting, rendered as a rotatable cross-section instead of a full 3D scene. Metabolic CO2 and electrolysis-supplied H2 stream into a catalyst bed; drag the view to rotate it about the reactor's long axis and tilt the elevation to inspect how the packed catalyst spheres and reacting gas are actually distributed radially inside the tube. A second panel plots the live Gaussian conversion-efficiency curve against bed temperature, and a third tracks catalyst life (Sabatier) or carbon bed fill and swap events (Bosch). Pick a reactor, set crew size, mission length and bed temperature, and watch hydrogen loop closure and cumulative resupply mass update in real time.
