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 />
