Hello world.
I'm trying to simulate a solid reaction inside an ash particle. Therefore I am using the Discrete Phase Model (DPM). Nothing special so far, DPM works fine. Let's consider this: I want to apply the DPM on a converged simulation of a power plant. So I am using the DPM without interaction with the continuous phase. All variables inside the domain are solved, therefore I have the whole zoo of species concentrations at hand. The most important species to me is oxygen. Why? Because I want to simulate this reaction: + 0.5 Fe and FeO are part of the mineral ash inside the particle. So I am tempted to define the volume fraction of my particle with two User Defined Scalar: Code:
P_USER_REAL(p,0) = 1.0 P_USER_REAL(p,1) = 0.0 Typical laws for the propagation of such species are where and corresponds to the volume fraction of the species and time. is some coefficient. Now there is my problem: The species volume fraction inside the particle are 1 for and 0 for . The application of these numbers to the above law will lead to zero reaction (because 1 - X = 1 - 1 = 0). This can't be right. The obvious reason? Oxygen! I think I need to include the oxygen into my considerations. The reaction will only take place in an oxygen environment. Remember: The oxygen is part of the allready calculated solution inside the domain. What I am not sure about is the connection between my definition on the particle itself (the User Defined Scalars) and the oxygen concentration in the domain. The volume -concentration of the system containing my particle and oxygen will be less than 1 ... I'm not sure how to approach this. How can I tell if stoichiometric conditions apply? (How do I identify the conditions at all?!) What happens if there is less/more oxygen than needed? Hope I made myself clear. Feel free to answer. Any help is appreciated.
