Hi everyone,
I’m developing a model of a stabilized burner for the combustion of ammonia/hydrogen.
My model consists of some Perfectly Stirred Reactors (PSR) and one Plug-Flow Reactor (PFR).
For the modeling of the PFR, I’m using a chain of reactors, as it is done in the example of Cantera’s site (https://cantera.org/examples/python/reactors/pfr.py.html). I also consider heat losses (by conduction and radiation) along the PFR.
However, despite the heat losses, the temperature and emissions stay constant all along the PFR… And they should decrease through it.
Here are the graphic results and some parts of my code relevant to this issue.
Some previous clarifications:
- PFZ is the PFR
- CRZ is the psr upstream the PFR
- dSurfArea_PFZ is the surface area of each one of the reactors of the chain (PFR)
- the emissivity (emiss_ext) considered is 0.9
- t is 10 seconds, to attain steady state

Does anyone have any idea what mistake I am making in modelling heat losses along PFR?Thank you very much in advance!Francisco
