Analytical transport network theory to guide the design of 3-D microstructural networks in energy materials: Part 2. Flow with reactions
We extend the fully analytical, heuristic "Analytical Transport Network Model" for steady-state, diffusive flow in a 3-D network to account for surface reactions. In the limit of negligible reactions, the model reduces to the conserved flow solution. The extension does not increase the time required to run the model, which in Part 1 was shown to be 0.5-1.5 and 5-6 orders of magnitude faster than electrochemical fin (ECF) theory and finite element analysis (PEA) for conserved flow, respectively. The model is compared to reacting-flow ECF and FEA as well as to experiments and is demonstrated as a potentially useful heuristic for understanding the influence of morphology and topology on reactive-diffusive flow through a 3-D microstructural network.
