Hematite to magnetite: 3Fe2O3 + CO = 2Fe3O4 + CO2
Magnetite to wustite: Fe3O4 + CO = 3FeO + CO2
Wustite to iron: FeO + CO = Fe + CO2
Boudouard reaction: CO2 + C = 2CO

these reactions should be solved using chemical reaction engineering module.
First order kinetics has been assumed here. ie using Arrhenius equation. as defined in that module. values of the constant has been defined below,

A_H=10^19/s A_M=10^18/s A_W=10^14/s
E_H=580 KJ/mole E_M=580 KJ/mole E_W=390 KJ/mole
∆H (H→M)=-16 KJ/mole
∆H (M→W)=42 KJ/mole
∆H (W→Fe)=-17 KJ/mole
∆H (C-gasification)=172 KJ/mol
σ=5.667×10^(-8) watt/m^2-K
ε=0.8
T=1,500K
Density (kg/ m3):
H= 5,200; M= 5,160; W=5,500; Fe= 7,800; C= 2,267
Heat capacity Cp (J/ kg-K):
H= 100; M= 100; W=80; Fe= 65; C= 80

where H= Hematite, M=Magneite, W=Wustite, F=Iron, C =Carbon.


I have already posted the set of first order kinetics eqs earlier
