Abstract
This work pursues the closure for the effective reaction rate based on fine‐grid two‐fluid model (TFM) simulations in reactive gas‐solid flows. It is found that the mesoscale mechanism in the solid‐catalyzed reaction is constrained by the kinetic regime (KR) and the external mass transfer‐controlled regimes (EMTR). Thus, a filtered reaction rate model ηsubgrid considered two different regimes is proposed. The mesoscale effectiveness factor proposed in previous work is adopted in KR. A filtered interphase mass transfer model QM, which is constructed by analogy to the interphase heat transfer model, is used in EMTR. ηsubgrid shows a good predictability in two regimes via a priori test. The fidelity of ηsubgrid is also assessed via a filtered TFM simulation. The results indicate that the simulations incorporating corrections for the drag force and reaction rate yield better agreement with the fine‐grid simulations for both mass fraction and reaction rate profiles.
