3 Our Problem Develop a mathematical model for characterizing fluid production and transport inside of a porous medium. Quantify the time scale and spatial profile of flooding of the pore space by the fluid. Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38

4 A Coupled Multiscale Approach Small Scale - Analyze the formation of sulfuric acid on the surface of a single filter pellet. Large Scale - Analyze the transport of sulfur dioxide in the gas channel and filter. Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38

5 Small Scale analysis Gas diffuses into the filter from the gas channel. Sulfur Dioxide (bad) reacts with Oxygen and Water on the surface of the Activated Carbon to form Sulfuric Acid (good). 2SO 2 + O 2 + 2H 2 O 2H 2 SO 4 Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38

6 Outer Small Scale Problem S i is the concentration of SO 2 in layer i. C i is the concentration of O 2 in layer i. C 1 = D 1 2 S 1 C 1, = d 1 2 S 1, Outer Layer t t C 1 C, S 1 S, r, Boundary Condition C 1 = k 1C 2, S 1 = k 2S 2, r = R + a Interface Condition Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38

7 Inner Small Scale Problem C 2 t = D 2 2 C 2, S 2 t = d 2 2 S 2, Inner Layer D 2 C 2 r = λs2 2C 2, d 2 S 2 r = 2λS2 2C 2, r = R Boundary Condition C 1 D 1 r = C 2 D2 r, S 1 d1 r = S 2 d2, r = R + a Interface Condition r Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38

8 Area Increase Problem At r = R, v = 2δλS 2 2C 2 and v = 0 At r = R + a, v = a t + ua x and a t = 2δλR2 S2C 2 2 (R + a) 2 Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38

9 Reduced Micro Scale Model The nondimensionalized reduced model is with boundary conditions and interface conditions Here S = S 2, T = S 1. S t = DS xx, T t = T xx, (1) DS x = 2λS 2 x=0, T = T x=b, (2) T = χs x=a, DS x = T x x=a. (3) Time scale: The flux in each layer is approximately constant. Quasi-Steady Diffusion: Diffusion is much faster than liquid layer growth. Solutions take the form S = S + S, T = T + T. Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38

14 Breakthrough Curve Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38

15 Critical Time Estimate for Surface Clogging Chemical reaction at droplet perimeter: q 1 2πr Imbibing liquid from pores: q 2 A c(x, y, t)dxdy Absorbing H 2 O (hygroscopicity): q 3 S Droplet coalescence: da f p Use this formation to determine critical time for filter surface clogging. Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38

16 Progress Determined that the concentration profile around the filter particles is governed by Laplace s equation. Physical chemistry results in ODE nonlinearity (messy but solvable) that can be easily translated to fluid formation in the fluid. Generated reasonable breakthrough curve with our model. Estimated surface clog time as a function of the area of the absorbing wall covered by a droplet. Bohun, Breward, et al. (MPI) GORE June 17, / 38
