Reactor Property |
When solving a freely propagating adiabatic flame ( FREE), the problem is posed in a flame-fixed coordinate system. In this case the flame speed becomes an eigenvalue. Therefore, an additional constraint is required. Ansys chooses to supply this additional condition by fixing the temperature at one point in the flame, and this input allows the specification of that fixed temperature. Given the fixed temperature, the flame position is determined from the initial temperature profile as specified by the TPRO or TPROF inputs. If the fixed temperature is not one of the temperatures specified in the input, then a linear interpolation of the temperature profile to determine the position of TFIX is used and a mesh point added at that point. | |||

Reactor Property |
Specifies the bath gas composition. The [Species name ] (or number as it appears in the Pre-processor output) and desired mole fraction are required parameters. If at least one species in a phase has been set with the XBTH keyword, then all of the specified mole fractions for that phase are summed and normalized so that they add up to one. If no XBTH parameters have been specified for any species in the phase, then mole fractions for all species in that phase are set equal to one another. | |||

For steady-state calculations, these are the estimated gas-phase mole fractions to begin the iteration. For transient problems, this keyword provides the initial values for the gas-phase mole fractions in the reactor. For example, XEST H2O 0.5 assigns an initial mole fraction of 0.5 to water vapor in the reactor. | |||
