Application of Percolation Theory in Thermokinetics

Abstract

The present paper focuses on the infiltration of random fluid particles through a porous wall. The thermogravimetric curve is assumed to be a non-eroded interface so that the random fluid particle can pass through the discrete boundary of it. The node on the thermogravimetric plane is denoted by the three-dimensional lattice, which has unit thickness. The Lattice Boltzmann method is implemented to determine the variation of the remaining mass fraction (X) with respect to time. The kinetic model is correlated with the Lattice Boltzmann method to determine the kinetic parameters. The practical situation of Moka coffee maker is applied to determining the kinetic parameters.
