β¦ Synopsis
A stochastic coalescence-redispersion model for the simulation of chemical reactions and transport processes in heterogeneous systems is presented. In the model two adjacent cells are randomly selected, then chemical reactions are carried out in the two selected cells. The properties (mass and heat) of the two cells are then transferred. The operating parameters of the model are the frequency for pair sampling, and a partition parameter that defines the fraction of property to be transferred. The partition parameter was shown to assume the role of the transport coefficient. The mode1 was shown to precisely simulate molecular diffusion accompanied with chemical reactions. The method was illustrated by oxidation and ignition of char in order to illustrate its usefulness in simulating steady and unsteady problems. In the present example, the bulk gas temperature was assumed 300 K and only heterogeneous oxidation was considered. Both dme-dependent and steady-state solutions are given.

For a chemical reaction occurring in a distributed parameter system in the presence of heat and mass diffusion, multiple steady state solutions may exist. Various numerical studies have shown that above a given size uniqueness is assured. This work is concerned with obtaining an a priori upper bound
In Part I a general applicable model has been developed which calculates mass and heat transfer fluxes through a vapour/gas-liquid interface in case a reversible chemical reaction with associated heat effect takes place in the liquid phase. In this model the Maxwell-Stefan theory has been used to de
