Immobilized catalyst layer in a photocatalytic reactor

Borka · September 29, 2022, 08:10

Dear All,
I am a beginner in Ansys-Fluent.
I would like to ask your help since I can not proceed further.

I am trying to simulate the reacting flow and the reactions in a photocatalytic reactor with immobilized catalyst layer.

I have defined the catalyst as a solid (within the Materials Section) and I have thought to define the catalyst layer as one of the walls (since the catalyst layer is deposited at one of the walls of the reactor)
(1) Is it a feasible option to define the catalyst layer as wall?

(2) Should I define the catalyst layer as a fluid (instead of solid) and also as secondary phase (within the Eulerian Phases)?

Thank you very much in advance your responses! Have a nice day!

Hi, I'm working on the same topic

did you find a way to do it?
Thanks!
