hi，
I would like to simulate particle heating in the plasma torch，The total
heat flux on the particle surface in the plasma Q is described using the heat transfer attributable to the plasma flow and the radiation loss as
Q=*(dp)^2*h*(T-TP)-((TP)^4-(Ta)^4)
h is the heat transfer coefficient T is plasma temperature ,TP is particle temperature,epsilonis the emissivity,sigma is Stefan–Boltzmann con-
stant,Ta is the ambient temperature.dp is particle diameter
Q can also be written for the particle temperature change and the phase changes such as melting
Q=/6*(*cp*(dp)^3*dTP/dt(tp<Tm,Tm<TP<Tb)................................ .........(1)
cp is specific heat,Tm is melting point ,Tb is boiling point

Q=/6*(*Hm*(dp)^3*dx/dt(tp=Tm)......................................... ....................(2)
Hm is the latent heat,rho is particle mass
Once the particle is completely molten (x = 1), its temperature is allowed to follow again Eq 1
My question is: I'm using UDFs to define the the heat of fusion during the transition,if I use DPM in fluent ,how can i use DEFINE_DPM_LAW Macro
to discribe this Eq ,
Thx

[tomas]

UDF that uses DEFINE_DPM_SWITCH to
switch between DPM laws using a criterion. The UDF switches to DPM_LAW_USER_1 which refers to condenshumidlaw since only one user law has
been defined.if i have two ,Any suggestions of how to tackle this issue?

why it showed no change in melting process （Tp=tm ）

Sorry I can't help you but can you check this?

else if (P_T(p) = Tm && x>O&& 1>x )

[tomas]

hank you very much ghost82. I do apprecaite your concern. All the best,

Tomas

Hej Tomas!

This thread is already more than 2 years old and unfortunately I cannot help you with your problem (if that would still be necessary...), but I am trying to model plasma gasification using the DPM model.

I read that you also combine a plasma flow with the DPM model, so I was hoping you could help me with something.

I have written several UDFs to calculate the high-temperature thermodynamic and transport properties of the plasma flow, but now I find that this results in a conflict with using the DPM model...
As far as I know, it's not possible to use a UDF for density, but only the ideal-gas-law when using combusting paricles.

Did you manage to solve this problem in some way?

Thank you in advance!

Ian
