About This Lesson
- This report presents the simulation of a reactive multiphase system incorporating heterogeneous Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions in a porous medium
- An iron (Fe) catalyst catalyzes the reactions, and the reaction rates are determined using Arrhenius kinetics.
- The Eulerian multiphase model is employed to investigate the interaction between different phases
- A Lee mass transfer model is applied for the phase change of water between liquid and gaseous states.
- A 2D geometry was created using SpaceClaim and The domain was meshed in ANSYS Meshing, using a structured mesh with 105,000 structured elements.
