Dimensionless variables

VariableDescription
x* = x/L, y* = y/L, z* = z/LDimensionless position with respect to the characteristic length L
t* = t/(L/u0)Dimensionless time with respect to the inlet velocity, u0
ut = Ut/u0Dimensionless total Darcy flux
r = rp/r0Dimensionless average pore radius
Av = av/a0Dimensionless interfacial area
κ = K/K0Dimensionless permeability
cf = Cf /C0, cs = Cs/C0Dimensionless concentrations with respect to the inlet concentration of the acid, C0
p = (P − Pout)/(u0L/K0)Dimensionless pressure with respect to the constant pressure at boundary, Pout
hT2=2ksr0/DmPore-scale Thiele modulus (reaction rate over diffusion rate) with respect to molecular diffusion Dm
HT2=ksa0L2/Dm=DaPeMacroscopic Thiele modulus
Da = ksa0L/u0Damköhler number
Nac = αC0/ρsAcid capacity number
η = 2r0/LRatio of average pore diameter to characteristic length
Sh = 2kcrp/DmSherwood number (the ratio of the convective mass transfer to the rate of diffusive mass transport)
