Modelling of multi gas/solid reactions - Effect of structural parameters
A unified gas/solid reaction model has been formulated for multi reactions with multi gas and solid species. The transient formulation has been followed by finite-difference method and subsequent solution via an iterative procedure. The simulation produces intermediate results for concentration profiles of various components and pressure and temperature distribution, in addition to various structural parameters within a reacting pellet. The effect of structural parameters is analysed. The general formulation allows homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. Solid state processes can also be accommodated.
