Species transport equation

The microscopic transport equations for the reaction-progress variables can be found from the chemical species transport equations by generalizing the procedure used above for the acid-base reactions (Fox, 2003). If we assume that Fa Fb Fc, then the transport equations are given by... 

The reaction rates of the forward and the backward reactions (3.13) and (3.14) allow the calculation of the source term > in the species transport Equation (3.24) as well as the source term Sq in the energy Equation (3.6) ... 

A numerical analysis using FlumeCAD was made, solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation for the velocity and pressure fields [70], The steady-state velocity field was then used in the coupled solution of three species transport equations (two reagents and one product). Further details are given in [70],... 

These equations are called the Navier-Stokes equations, and when supplemented by the state equation for fluid pressure and species transport equations, they form the basis for any computational model describing the flows in fires. For simplicity, several approximations are inherent (see Equation 20.3) (no Soret/Dufour effects, no viscous dissipation, Fickian diffusion, equal diffusion coefficients of all species, unit Lewis number). 

It is common practice when applying CFD to chemical reactor modeling, to solve a set of independent transport equations consisting of upto N — 1 species transport equations the mixture continuity equation and the momentum equation and the internal (or thermal) energy equation formulated in terms of temperature. 

The state relation is not often used in this form in thermod3mamics literature, but it is useful in flow analyzes. The chemistry and flow field effects are isolated in Dujc/Dt, determined by solving additional species transport equations. The thermodynamic character of the multi-component fluid is isolated in 7 (and a and / ). All the thermod3mamic quantities are in principle functions of both temperature, pressure and composition. 

The integration of the species transport equations was followed by a density update due to the change in the ideal gas mixture composition ...

We have not formally derived a species transport equation. However, in the present case we have assumed that transport is strictly by an effective diffusion process. Hence the concentration will be spherically symmetric and governed by a radial diffusion equation with a reaction rateR ... 

The basic starting point is again the governing equations (12-160), (12-161), and (12-164). To these equations, we must add a species transport equation for our solute... 

Before finishing this section, we would like to discuss the practical aspects of mixing index calculations. The method requires utilization of the species transport equation along with a flow solver, which presently exists... 

This latter form fails to identify the species velocity as a crucial part of the species transport equation, and this often leads to confusion about the mechanical aspects of... 

The gas-phase evolution is obtained by solving the gas species transport equations (3.38) with the corresponding initial conditions (IC) (3.39) and boundary... 

Spray combustion is initiated by an ignition process, which occurs at relatively low temperatures and, therefore, its chemical time scales are comparable with the ones of the flow. Consequently, fluid dynamics effects play an important role, and species transport equations are essential for monitoring the ignition progress. Also, the chemical reactions are dominated by various reaction paths, which lead to a large number of intermediate species that can exhibit tmexpected behavior. The ignition delay characteristics are illustrated for different gas pressures of a u-heptane fuel in Fig. 13.4. The data in this figure has been obtained from computations based on a detailed reaction mechanism as reported by Inhelder et al. [25]. 

The detailed chemical reaction mechanism of a combustirMi process can involve thousands of reactions between hundreds of species (cf. Refs. [9,15, 57,60]). Since for each species, there is a species transport equation that needs to be solved, this would lead to enormously large systems of PDEs, whose computing demands lie far beyraid the capacities of today s computers. Therefore, only the process-domineering... 

Future work includes the development of noninvasive experimental techniques that are capable ofmeasuring in realistic reactive conditions, such as ePIV/DIA. On the simulation point, extension of DPM and TFM models with species transport equations will aid the understanding and provide accurate closure equations for bubble-to-emulsion phase mass transfer.
