I want to use Mfix to realize the chemical reaction of cacO3 (g) and CO2. It is necessary to consider the change of particle size of solid particles in the process of chemical reaction. May I ask whether MFIX can achieve this? thank you.
Hi Yi!
Please note, it’s helpful if you describe your question in the topic, for example “Varying particle diameter”, as this makes it easier to keep track of topics on the forum.
The answer to your question is “Yes” - per the MFiX documentation,
If the density is constant, and chemical reactions take place, the particle diameter will vary to reflect particle mass gain/loss.
Please see 4.6. Solids — MFiX 21.4 documentation
