Description

The enthalpySorption is a boundary condition that provides a temperature boundary condition which works in conjunction with the speciesSorption condition for species.

This boundary condition substracts or adds enthalpy associated with the adsorption provided by the speciesSorption condition.

It can handle two enthalpy models: - estimate - calculated

On top of this, the enthalpy associated with the sensible enthalpy corresponding with the species transport can be added using includeHs.

Usage

The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.

Boundary file 

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file 

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type                enthalpySorption;
    enthalpyModel       <word>;
    species             <word>;

    // Conditional mandatory entries

    // when enthalpyModel == calculated
    enthalpyTable       <Function1<scalar>>

        // enthalpyTable
        // {
        //     type            table;
        //     values          ((0 0)(1 50));
        // }

    // Optional entries
    includeHs           <bool>;
    C                   <scalar>;
    Hvap                <scalar>;
    dhdt                <scalarField>;
    p                   <word>;
    T                   <word>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

Property Description Type Required Default
