Numerical Approach To Wood Pyrolysis In Consideration Heat And Mass Transfer And Chemical Reaction

APPENDIX 1
Steps OF Numerical Simulation
After planning a CFD analysis on the model. Common step in the completion
of Fluent CFD analysis as follows:
1.

Create geometry and mesh on the model

2.

Choosing the right solver for the model (2d or 3d)

3.

Importing mesh model (grid)

4.

Pass the examination on the mesh models

5.


Choosing a solver formulation

6.

Selecting the basic equations used in the analysis, such laminar, tubulen,
chemical reactions, heat transfer, etc.

7.

Determining the material properties

8.

Determining the boundary conditions

9.

Set the parameters of the control solution


10.

Initialization the flow field

11.

Calculation / iteration

12.

Double check the results of the iteration

13.

Saving iteration results.

These steps are illustrated in the following flow chart in figure 1.1. bellow:

UDF Used in this Analysis
a.

Velocity Inlet:
Inlet velocity is an initial of volatile inlet, in this boundary condition the user
define function (UDF) is given. However, the velocity adjusted to obtain a
good deal on increasing the pressure inside chamber when the wood pyrolysis
process started. We give the profil of the transient temperature as bellow:
