This application uses the shrinking core model to study the reduction of iron ore pellets. A 1D model of a packed bed containing iron ore pellets is modeled. The bed filling pellets initially consists of solid phase FeO. The pellets are reduced by CO, and the solid core shrinks leaving a porous Fe matrix and producing CO2 gas. The gas phase transport through the bed is modeled using Darcy's Law. The reduction mechanism is defined in a Chemistry interface including both a surface reaction for the FeO reduction and a gas phase reaction occuring in the reduced pellet part. The Shrinking Core Model is enabled in the Pellets subnode of the Packed Bed feature in the included Transport of Diluted Species interface.
