How do I specify system temperature and Arrhenius rate constant in FLUENT?

11 November 2014 1 2K Report

Hi all!

I have a problem in FLUENT which I am describing below.

I have a batch reactor where a volumetric reaction is taking place with finite rate law and Arrhenius reaction rate. So I have specified the activation energy and pre-exponential factor in the reaction panel. It will access temperature from the system.

Where do I specify the system/operating temperature? Is it in initialization section?

Do I have to patch the temperature in the cell zone, or in the operating condition section?

Thanks,

Vivek.

You can try the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) , However an UDF may be required to specifically address the species issue . Try the Species Transport Equations from fluent manuel
