CRESLAF (Version 4.0): A Fortran program for modeling laminar, chemically reacting, boundary-layer flow in cylindrical or planar channels
CRESLAF is a Fortran program that predicts the velocity, temperature, and species profiles in two-dimensional (planar or axisymmetric) channels. The program accounts for finite-rate gas-phase and surface chemical kinetics and molecular transport. The model employs the boundary-layer approximations for the fluid-flow equations, coupled to gas-phase and surface species continuity equations. The program runs in conjunction with the Chemkin preprocessors for the gas-phase and surface chemical reaction mechanisms and the transport properties. This report presents the equations defining the model, the method of solution, the input parameters to the program, and a sample problem illustrating its use. Applications of CRESLAF include chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactors, heterogeneous catalysis on reactor walls, and corrosion processes.
