Teaching Non-Ideal Reactors with CFD Tools

Geometry

A sketch of the geometry is presented in Figure 1. A fully developed laminar profile is imposed at the inlet boundary:

where U_max=1.5 U_mean is the fluid velocity at the center of the inlet boundary.

Figure 1

The Reynolds number is defined based on inlet conditions,

where and are the density and viscosity of the fluid, respectively.
