Abstract

The reversible elementary reaction mechanism of six components and seven steps of H2/O2 are applied by using a CFD-DSMC coupling iteration method to study the impact of boundary on flow, heat transfer and chemical reaction in a microtube. The microtube consists of a converging section and a straight section, which represents the gap on the contact surface of the pellets in porous media. It shows that after coupling, with the designed conditions in this paper, the influence of wall temperature is more obvious than that of wall slip velocity on the coupling results from the analysis of chemical reaction, yet the velocity field in the boundary layer is more affected by the wall slip velocity. In addition, the velocity in the central region of the flow decreases while the concentration of reaction products increases after coupling, due to the increasing of the velocity in the boundary layer and the influence of wall temperature, respectively. By the coupling of CFD-DSMC methods, more details and influence of the boundary can be considered, and the computational efficiency is higher than that of the single microscopic method.
