I am trying to model a droplet that is a mixture of heptane and octane.
For this, to implement the liquid mixture, I modified the thermophysicalProperties dictionary as


thermoType hMixtureThermo<reactingMixture>;

CHEMKINFile "$FOAM_CASE/chemkin/chem.inp";
// We use the central thermo data:
CHEMKINThermoFile "~OpenFOAM/thermoData/therm.dat";

inertSpecie N2;

liquidComponents
(
C7H16
C8H18
);

liquidProperties
{
C7H16 C7H16 defaultCoeffs;
C8H18 C8H18 defaultCoeffs;
}



Implementing this gives me an out of temperature range error right at the first time step.

Could someone tell me where I might be making an error? Moreover, how can I set the mass fraction of each liquid component in the mixture?

Thanks.

Hi,

could you upload your case, so i have a look at it?
massfraction can be set in injectorProps for spray-simulations. i think you dont use this but maybe it`s a starting point.
