Modelling and numerical simulation of multiphase chemical reactions (B05)

• Subject Area: Technical Thermodynamics
• Term: since 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 237267381

In this subproject, the algorithms and methods developed so far are extended to the application of flame retardants in polymers. Both the gas phase activity and the processes in the condensed phase are taken into account and are numerically simulated in a coupled multiphase model. The focus is on the detailed descriptions of the mode of operation and mechanisms of action of various selected phosphorus-containing flame retardants and the implementation of the reaction kinetics in simulation tools as well as their coupling with physical processes to describe the overall system.
