Apparatus and method for exothermic and endothermic reactions

An apparatus comprising:

• (a) a plurality of sealed reactors, each sealed reactor independently comprising one or more aperture seals and a reactor body, each reactor body having an exterior surface and an interior surface, the exterior surface being spaced apart from, and generally parallel to, the interior surface so as to define the reactor body, each reactor body defining one or more sealable apertures between the exterior surface and the interior surface of the reactor body, each sealable aperture being in sealing operative contact with at least one of the aperture seals, each sealed reactor having disposed therein an enclosed volumetric space that functions as a sealed reactor chamber, and each exterior surface of the reactor body independently having a thermally-insulating effective area, wherein for each sealable aperture in the reactor body, at least one of the aperture seals prevents fluid communication between the exterior surface of the reactor body and the sealed reactor chamber via the sealable aperture, the sealed reactor chamber of each sealed reactor is in fluid communication with at least a portion of the interior surface of the reactor body of the sealed reactor, and the sealed reactor chambers of the sealed reactors are not in fluid communication with one another and are spaced apart from each other;
• (b) one or more adiabatic thermal insulation means, wherein the thermally-insulating effective area of the exterior surface of each reactor body independently is in thermally-insulating operative contact with at least one of the one or more adiabatic thermal insulation means;
• (c) a plurality of physico-chemical sensors, wherein each physico-chemical sensor is in sensing communication with a different one of the sealed reactor chambers;
• and
• (d) at least one data device, wherein each data device is in data communication with one or more of the physico-chemical sensors and each physico-chemical sensor is in data communication with at least one data device.
