Observations • The fluid equations are very classical and can be readily solved. • The mass and energy balances are coupled to the washcoat at the gas solid interface. • A zero slip condition is usually imposed at the gas solid interface and a zero velocity boundary condition imposed. • One mass balance equation needed for each species. 20
Modelling the washcoat domain • The washcoat is a porous matrix containing solid and fluid fractions. • The diffusion/reaction occurs in the fluid fraction, which is comprised of a network of tortuous pores. • It is too complicated to model the actual diffusion in the porous network (and the structure is unknown in any case) • Diffusion is thus assumed to occur across the entire matrix and is governed by an effective diffusion coefficient, with a Fickian type of approach. 21
