I have coal par cles surrounded by liquid water (hence mul -component). As soon as the wet coal will enter into the domain, the liquid water will evaporate into vapors and dry coal will exit the domain. FLUENTs inbuilt code only supports droplet (1 component) vaporiza on. Hence, UDF has to be wri en for mul -component par cles. Fortunately, Fluent has provided a UDF code to solve mul -component vaporiza on in the following link: h p://hpce.iitm.ac.in/website/Manuals/Fluent_6.3/uent6.3/help/html /udf/node64.htm However, when I compile and hook the above UDF in DPM model of FLUENT and run the simula on, I get 0 evapora on of water. I think, there is some problem in the code and modica ons have to be done in the code, as there is no men oning of vaporiza on that should start when Tp>=vap-temp The following is the same UDF code as was seen in the link above but boiling por on is neglected(as there is no boiling in my case). Could anyone please explain what should be added here to get vaporiza on of water from coal par cles? /************************************************** ********************* UDF for defining the heat and mass transport for multicomponent particle vaporization ************************************************** *********************/

Hi, How did u solve this problem. I am also doing CFD simulation of pneumatic dryer. I followed your thread and used the multicomponent droplet (particles + water). And used the UDF Define_DPM_HEAT_MASS. And couldn't see any evaporation. I am student from KNU, south korea.
