Heat transfer in porous media [ solid fuel simulation] and NOx concentration

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello !

I'm attempting to simulate a laboratory experiment.

It involves solid fuel pyrolysis (solid waste RDF) and monitoring NOx concentrations after one hour of burning.

For the tube furnace, I'm utilizing a simple 2D geometry, and for the sample, I'm using heat transfer in porous media.

I'm wondering how I can simulate the heat increase over time from 25 degrees Celsius to 800 degrees Celsius for one hour, as well as how to calculate the NOx concentration for each minute of combustion? (For the time being, I'm assuming heat transfer is by conduction and using the furnace walls as a heat source).

I have the pyrolysis reaction kinetics and the approximate analysis data for the sample; how can I create the sample In Comsol ?

I'm new to Comsol and still learning, And would be happy to provide further informations.

Thank you

"I've included a snapshot of the models I want to utilize."
