I am trying to learn and simulate a paper on post combustion of flue gas in an Electric arc furnace. There I am required to burn the flue gas ( Carbon Monoxide ) with oxygen.

The writer of the paper mentions that, fluent or any cfx solver will not account for the backward reaction , i.e Carbon Di-oxide breaking back into CO and Oxygen. Due to this backward reaction the composition of the system will change. And for this particular phenomenon I'll have to update the rate kinetics and correspondingly the source term .

I am not able to link the rate kinetics and the source term , will I have to write an udf code ?

The paper is available online. https://link.springer.com/article/10...663-003-0079-9

I am referring to page number : 4 .
