adsorption/desorption simulation of volatile organic compound

1988 · August 17, 2016, 08:02

Hi all

I want to simulate adsorption/desorption of benzene on the activated carbon fiber under dynamic conditions with OpenFOAM. I have a channel which is filled with adsorbants (small carbon spheres) and air(with pollutants) flows through this channel. I want to simulate the amount of pollutants which is adsorbed and so on. Is there any solver in OpenFOAM for this purpose?
+ I have found some posts about adsorption process in catalytic surface reactions but still I do not know which solver should I use.
http://www.catalyticfoam.polimi.it/
http://www.detchem.com/
As I have never used these solvers I have no idea if I can use them in my problem.

Thank you
