Hi to all,,

I am finding difficulty to define the "Surface Reaction" UDF for "Ethanol steam reforming reaction'.

I have tried to define it on face but it doesn't work. Its is giving error.

I request you to kindly help me regarding the same, so that I can proceed with my work further.
Hope for your kind reply.

Hello,friend.My doctoral project is aslo about Steam Reforming of ethanol by using CFD.
I also face the same problem. How did you solve it?
