Modelling of heating of plasma-chemical reactor in Comsol Multiphysics.

Abstract

For the thermophysical calculation of the reactor, a mathematical model was developed in Comsol Multiphysics, describing physical processes in the plasma-chemical reactor at a stationary mode. To simplify the calculation at this stage, it was carried out for an air plasma torch. The model includes two processes: fluid dynamic and heat transfer ones. As a result of the mathematical modelling the following parameters were obtained: temperature distribution in the reactor at steady state, average mass temperature in the reaction volume, velocity field and others.
