How do you read a cell energy content and its mole value? I was thinking of converting this UDF from Fluent manual. Instead of returning mu_lam value in a cell, I will be returning different O2 mole value into a cell. But first I need to read the energy and CO2 mole values in a cells first. Thanks.

#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_PROPERTY(cell_viscosity,c,t)
{
real mu_lam;
real temp = C_T(c,t);
if (temp > 288.)
mu_lam = 5.5e-3;
else if (temp > 286.)
mu_lam = 143.2135 - 0.49725 * temp;
else
mu_lam = 1.;
return mu_lam;
}

above code, FLUENT 6.3 UDF Manual. Page 2-83.

My first attempt to thermal split CO2 in cells, and return new values of CO2, O2, and CO. Also the remaining energy per a cell (consumed due to CO2 splitting). ANY recommendations, advise please?

#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_PROPERTY(cell_CO2_split, cell, thread)
{
/*program to handle CO2 thermal splitting, assumed figures for now*/
/* define CO2, CO, and O2 as real, and they must be in mol values */
real CO2;
real CO;
real O2;
/* define temperature in cell and get its value */
real temp = C_T(cell, thread);
/*
define as real the ‘energy_IN_cell_per_mol’. This needs to be obtained as energy in J/mol per a cell. The mol value here is of CO2.
*/
real energy_IN_cell_per_mol = C_E(cell,thread);
if (temp ≥ 500 && < 1000)
if (energy_IN_cell_per_mol ≥100e3 && <150e3);
CO=1;
O2=1;
CO2=0;
/*
Below; energy taken (125e3) to split CO2, must be subtracted from cell. Then new value returned
*/
Energy = energy-150e3;
return CO;
return O2;
return CO2;
return
endif;
else
CO2=1.;
return CO2;
