HOW TO APPLY A SIMPLE CONSTRAINT IN COMSOL

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

This is the simple problem of the precipitation in a solution.
We got a concentration of [A+], and concentration of [B-].

And the constraint in solution is: [A+]*[B-] = Ksp (solubility constant).
Are there any way to apply this constraint, this is not reaction rate (R). It is a condition depending on [A+], and [B-] which vary with time.

Hi

what about adding a equation [A+]*[B-] - Ksp = 0 over your domain or bounary ?

Good luck

Yes. But how to do that Ivar?
In Comsol, when we play with reaction, the equation comes with the reaction rate form.

That means: dc/dt = mass transport + rate

I'm finding the way to implement as the constraint form: [a]*[b] = constant
