I would like your expertise and guidance regarding a challenging Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) problem I currently have. The project involves species transport in Ansys Fluent, focusing on simulating a steam methane reforming process.

The issue I am encountering pertains to the Chemkin files that I have uploaded into the Ansys Fluent software. Unfortunately, I am encountering persistent errors, and it seems the software is not properly considering the uploaded Chemkin files. I have thoroughly reviewed the inputs, but the problem persists. Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to resolve this issue.

Furthermore, in this simulation, a key aspect involves maintaining a wall at an elevated temperature of 2000 degrees Celsius. The objective is to facilitate heat transfer to the methane and steam feed mixture to initiate the steam methane reforming reaction.

Regrettably, I have observed that the heat is not effectively transferring to the feed mixture, resulting in the absence of the desired chemical reaction. This poses a significant setback to the project, as the core objective is to study the reaction kinetics and product distribution in this specific environment.

Your support in this matter would be immensely important to my research progress.

Thank you in advance for considering my request. I am eager to learn from your expertise and am open to any suggestions or instructions you may have.

Sincerely,

Sudeep N S
