Energy and mass balances<br />

• There are two main classes <strong>of</strong> porous media models.<br />

• Heterogeneous model:<br />

– The fluid and solid temperatures and concentrations<br />

are taken to be different. The two phases are coupled<br />

using heat and mass transfer coefficients.<br />

• Pseudo-homogeneous model<br />

– The fluid and solid temperatures and concentrations<br />

are taken to be the same. This situation corresponds<br />

to infinitely large heat and mass transfer coefficients.<br />

For transient simulations the heterogeneous model is recommended.<br />
