Modeling Chemical Reactions in Modelica By Use of Chemo-bonds
François E. Cellier, Jürgen Greifeneder · Linköping electronic conference proceedings · 2009
This paper describes a new methodology for modeling and simulating chemical reaction systems using vectors of chemo-bonds, called multi-chemo-bonds.Chemical reactions are usually described through mass flows alone.Yet in reality, they are convective flows, as the reactants carry their volume and heat with them in the reactions.Each combined mass/volume/heat flow can be described by a chemo-bond.The combination of all such flows can be described by a vector of chemo-bonds, i.e., a multichemo-bond.
