Thermal Decomposition

In this tutorial model, couple heat and mass transport equations to laminar flow in order to model exothermic reactions in parallel plate reactor. It exemplifies how COMSOL Multiphysics allows you to systematically set up and solve increasingly sophisticated models using predefined physics interfaces.

The top surface plot shows the velocity field (m/s) in the reactor. The middle plot is the concentration of the heat sensitive chemical (A) as function of position in the reactor. The last plot shows that significant decomposition of the heat sensitive chemical (A) occurs in the first half of the reactor.
