1 Chemical-species equation
The equation for the conservation of the chemical species is:
(y )
+ (y~v ) + ~j = Sy (1)
t
where is the fluid density, ~v is the fluid mass average velocity, y is the mass
fraction of species , ~j is the mass diffusion-flux of species relative to the
mass-average velocity ~v , and Sy stands for the volumetric sources or sinks of
the species .
2 Diffusion-flux modeling
The binary diffusion coefficients for a couple of species is D [3]. For porous
media we also define the Knudsen diffusion coefficient DK [3.0.11] and the
ef f
ef f
effective diffusion coefficients Dm = Dm and DK = DK , where and
are the porosity and the tortuosity factor of the porous medium.
j~ = Dm y (2)
j~ = Dm y (4)
where Dm is the binary diffusion coefficient between species and the carrier
species (indicated by N index):
Dm = DN (5)
j~ = Dm y (6)

5 modifiedReactingFoam solver
The standard reactingFoam needs only few changes in order to use the library:
in hsEqn.H the missed terms are added into sensible enthalpy equation.
