Coupling Heat Transfer with Other Physics Interfaces
The Reaction Engineering Interface includes support for setting up and simulating chemical reactions, including reaction kinetics through the temperature-dependent Arrhenius expression and mass action law. This physics interface also has support for including and calculating thermodynamic data as temperature-dependent expressions. The Reaction Engineering interface can generate a space-dependent model using any heat transfer interface to benefit from the bidirectional dependence between heat transfer and chemical reactions.
More advanced descriptions of fluid flow, such as turbulent and multiphase flow, require the CFD Module. In addition, the Heat Transfer Module also includes more detailed descriptions and tools for simulating energy transport, such as radiation.
