UDF for pellets
 

Hi everyone,

I want to simulate with eulerian multiphase model one gasifier. The gasifier is just a cylinder in whitch I have 3 phases. The first is the air need to gasification, wood pellets and ash. In this case I want to know just I the air is flows around the pellets. But I need an UDF for changeing the pellets to ash in time. I wrote this UDF. If some can please correct it:

#include "udf.h"

real cp_b = 835.; /* specific heat capacity */

real A_b_V; /* area-to-volume ratio */

real k_sol;
real a = K_S0/K_F0;
real b = 1.25*pow((1.-e_gas)/e_gas, 10./9.);
real t1 = (a-1.)/pow((1.-b/a),2.0)*(b/a)*log(a/b);
real t2 = -((b-1.)/(1.-b/a))-0.5*(b+1.);
real gm = (2./(1.-b/a))*(t1+t2);
real k_bs = K_F0*(OMEGA*a + (1.-OMEGA)*gm);
