Lattice Boltzmann modeling and simulation of velocity and concentration slip effects on the catalytic reaction rate of strongly nonequimolar reactions in microflows.

A lattice Boltzmann (LB) interfacial gas-solid three-dimensional model is developed for isothermal multicomponent flows with strongly nonequimolar catalytic reactions, further accounting for the presence of velocity slips and concentration jumps. The model includes diffusion coefficients of all reactive species in the calculation of the catalytic reaction rates as well as an updated velocity at the reactive boundary node. Lattice Boltzmann simulations are performed in a catalytic channel-flow geometry under a wide range of Knudsen (Kn) and surface Damköhler (Da_{s}) numbers.
