Catalytic combustion of methane on platinum#

This script solves a catalytic combustion problem. A stagnation flow is set up, with a gas inlet 10 cm from a platinum surface at 900 K. The lean, premixed methane/air mixture enters at ~6 cm/s (0.06 kg/m2/s), and burns catalytically on the platinum surface. Gas-phase chemistry is included too, and has some effect very near the surface.

The catalytic combustion mechanism is from Deutschmann et al., 26th Symp. (Intl.) on Combustion,1996 pp. 1747-1754

Problem Definition#

Parameter values are collected here to make it easier to modify them

p = ct.one_atm  # pressure
tinlet = 300.0  # inlet temperature
tsurf = 900.0  # surface temperature
mdot = 0.06  # kg/m^2/s
transport = 'mixture-averaged'  # transport model

We will solve first for a hydrogen/air case to use as the initial estimate for the methane/air case

# composition of the inlet premixed gas for the hydrogen/air case
comp1 = 'H2:0.05, O2:0.21, N2:0.78, AR:0.01'

# composition of the inlet premixed gas for the methane/air case
comp2 = 'CH4:0.095, O2:0.21, N2:0.78, AR:0.01'

# The inlet/surface separation is 10 cm.
width = 0.1  # m

loglevel = 1  # amount of diagnostic output (0 to 5)

Create the phase objects#

The surf_phase object will be used to evaluate all surface chemical production rates. It will be created from the interface definition Pt_surf in input file ptcombust.yaml, which implements the reaction mechanism of Deutschmann et al., 1995 for catalytic combustion on platinum.

This phase definition also references the phase gas in the same input file, which will be created and used to evaluate all thermodynamic, kinetic, and transport properties. It is a stripped-down version of GRI-Mech 3.0.

surf_phase = ct.Interface("ptcombust.yaml", "Pt_surf")
surf_phase.TP = tsurf, p
gas = surf_phase.adjacent["gas"]
gas.TPX = tinlet, p, comp1

# integrate the coverage equations holding the gas composition fixed to generate a good
# starting estimate for the coverages.
surf_phase.coverages = {'PT(S)': 0.5, 'O(S)':0.5}
surf_phase.advance_coverages_to_steady_state()

# create the object that simulates the stagnation flow, and specify an initial
# grid
sim = ct.ImpingingJet(gas=gas, width=width, surface=surf_phase)

# Objects of class ImpingingJet have members that represent the gas inlet
# ('inlet') and the surface ('surface'). Set some parameters of these objects.
sim.inlet.mdot = mdot
sim.inlet.T = tinlet
sim.inlet.X = comp1
sim.surface.T = tsurf
