Changing devolatilisation Arrhenius parameters via UDF?

Baum · December 2, 2019, 09:09

Hi all,

I am currently wondering about how I can change the Arrhenius parameters of the devolatilisation of a particle based on the particle diameter. I don't really want to re-write the whole devolatilisation law with mass and energy balances, since that seems like overkill.

The pseudo-code looks like this:
/******* UDF that models custom Arrhenius parameters for each particle **************/

#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_DPM_LAW(variable_Arrhenius, p, ci){
if (0 < P_DIAM(p) < 100)
A = 1;
E = 100;
else if ( 100 < P_DIAM(p) < 500)
A = 2;
E = 200;
else
A = 3;
E = 300;
VaporizationLaw(p);
}

But I can not seem to find a way to edit A and E?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

share your case, I'll try to find something

Hey Alexander, thanks for the quick reply. I am not able to share the real case, but in general it's just a simple tube with a particle injection at one end. I have a representative simplified case at hand, however I seem not to be able to upload it here due to file restrictions. The geometry and injections are irrelevant though, and the problem can be found in any combustion case.

I dont know how to set up this problem correctly. No experience, cant help you without case
