Information

act_Layer-Layer1D




This class represents the method of finite volumes to solve the one dimensional problem of the layer. Also in this class all parameter of transport phenomena and control volume of catalyst layer are defined. One of these parameters, "n" is the number of finite volumes of the layer. The simulation can become too slowed if the parameter "n" is very high. The selection of the variable modeling hypothesis is defined by the parameters:
"ModHyp1": Psuedocapacitance dependence(0:Off,1:On)
"ModHyp2":Knudsen diffusion pore size dependence(0:Off,1:On)
"ModHyp3":Electro-Osmotic drag effect(0:Off,1:On)
"ModHyp4":Electrolyte conductivity dependence(0:Off,1:On)
