chemical reaction in stead of combustion

wlt_1985 · September 23, 2010, 05:41

I would like to model a chemical reaction i.e. esterification with CFD Fluent. I have been told that CFD Fluent is designed specifically for combustion. May i know what should i do to model a chemical reaction i.e. esterification instead of combustion by using CFD Fluent? Since i am totally a beginner in using CFD Fluent for modeling of chemical reaction. I appreciate for help given. Thanks

hai
any reaction for which you know the stoichiomery as well as the rate equation can be carried out in fluent. u can use the arrhenius constants directly in the reaction window r u can create an udf for rate equation and run it too

Hi every body

I have bubble column reactor and I want to simulate species transport and find oxygen transport in it .I want to know how can i set set species transport after initialize my model by mixture model ?and how can i set mas fraction boundry condition ?
best regards
