All sensor data are logged using a National Instruments NI-cDAQ-9174 data acquisition module and analog input modules. The data are sampled in intervals of 1 s and visualized in real-time in NI LabVIEW, which also serves as the programmable logic control system. In parallel, relevant sensor data are recorded and saved to CSV files with a resolution of 10 s. We use the open programming language Python including the libraries Matplotlib, NumPy, pandas, SciPy, uncertainties , and CoolProp for post-processing. To reduce the noise on time series used for computing Figure : Simplified process scheme of the HBCC lab-scale reactor including the most relevant sensors and actuators as well as the gas and cooling lines, specific system components including high pressure reactor (HPR), gas cylinder (GC), pressure indicators (PI), pressure indicator and controller (PIC), flow indicator (FI), flow indicator and controller (FIC), cooling cycle (CC), gas lock (GL), ball valves (BV), and CO 2 sensors (CO 2 ).
