The analytical modeling of propane-oxygen mixture at catalytic micro-channel.

In the present work the effect of catalytic surface reaction on non-reactive bulk flow in micro-channel is investigated. The reaction surface is analyzed with assumption of constant wall temperature. To solve this problem, the energy, mole fraction and catalytic reaction equations are solved by trial and error process. The analysis show that most sensitive parameter is fuel conversion and the sensitivity of hydraulic diameter is more than longitude coordinates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
