The COMSOL Reaction Engineering Lab uses reaction formulas to create models of reacting systems. It solves the material and energy balances for such systems, including reaction kinetics, where the composition and temperature vary only with time. Further, you can run nonlinear parameter estimation on multiple sets of experimental data through using a powerful interface.
For space-dependent models, the Reaction Engineering Lab offers direct export to the Chemical Engineering Module, where you can create 2D and 3D models. Included in these models are kinetic expressions for the reacting system, which are automatically or manually defined in the Reaction Engineering Lab.
You also have access to a variety of ready-made expressions in order to calculate a system’s thermodynamic and transport properties.
Regardless of the system—whether drug-delivery to a nerve or a CVD reactor in the semi-conductor industry—this suite of products gives you unparalleled power in formulating and solving kinetic reaction models.
