Hi,

I'm reopening this issue of what irreversibleArrheniusSolidReaction means with regard to fireFOAM pyrolysis modelling. I have pretty much looked everywhere including the source code and I still don't know what this means. A further complication thus results, which is, I cannot include the model parameters since they really don't exist anywhere. How can I be sure that the pyrolysis model even works ? I hope someone knows what's going on?

The following reactions file is included with the fireFOAM/LES/simplePMMApanel/constant/panelRegion.


species
(
PMMA
);
gaseousSpecies
(
gas
);
reactions
{
charReaction
{
type irreversibleArrheniusSolidReaction;
reaction "PMMA = gas";
A 1.2e6; // what is this value
Ta 11300.57; // what is this value
Tcrit 400; // what is this value
}

For anyone who comes looks for this, I found the answer:

Reaction rate is computed based on an Arrhenius Equation, that is set up as follows:

RR = A* exp(-Ta/Tcrit)

where Ta = Ea/R.
A -> pre-exponential factor
Ea -> Activation Energy
R -> Ideal Gas constant.

Hello, can i ask you some things about fireFoam? I'm trying to simulate a fire in a closed place, but I have doubts.
Thank you, thank you, Luca.

Hi, thanks very much for the reply, I also asked for help in another forum discussion (both in "fireFOAM: reactions file setup" and in "HRR in fireFoam") and now I do not know what to do. I did not know if anyone answered me since July 30 I had created a post but no one answered me and so I was not very optimistic and so I had written on both posts that had the latest message in 2017, now I could write my question on both of the discussions, but maybe it would be better to unify them, do you know how to do it? Maybe it's better if I publicize my question in my previous post "Simulating fire in a tunnel" so if you can answer me there. Thank you both (Roman1 and ashish.vinayak) let me know if it is all right for you.
