Using PHOENICS Computer Code for Transient One-Dimensional Metal Combustion in Steam.

Abstract

In the previous report, presented in Reference 1, we considered the governing equations and physical parameters for metal droplet combustion in steam. A one dimensional (spherical) time-dependent model for burning process was proposed. In present report, we describe the implementation of that model in the general purpose computer code. PHOENICS. This code can treat two phase transient flows in one or more space dimensions. Although we do not dwell on the specific of PHOENICS in this report, we describe in some detail the manner in which our model is incorporated into the code. The programming procedures are described via flow charts, list of variables and FORTRAN listing. Keywords: Metal Combustion, Combustion in stream, Transient Droplet Combustion.
