Multi Phase Problem Details

The document summarizes a non-dimensional particle mass diffusion equation and its non-dimensionalization parameters. It describes how the particle concentration Φ is modeled based on spatial coordinates X and Y, flow velocities U and V, and the diffusion coefficient DB. It also lists the values used for various physical constants like temperature T, particle diameter dp, and viscosity μ, from which the non-dimensionalization parameter αf/DB is calculated to be approximately 33,000.

T = 293 to 303

When I discretize the mass diffusion equation and write down the equation in terms of
αf
phi(I,j) on LHS and everything else on RHS, I get the coefficient with the convection

αf
terms. The value of is coming out to be around 33000.
