Fortran is applied in catalysis research in several ways:
Kinetic modeling: Fortran is used to model the kinetics of catalytic processes, helping researchers understand the rates of chemical reactions and the factors affecting them. Reaction mechanisms: Researchers use Fortran to simulate and analyze the mechanisms of catalytic reactions, providing insights into how catalysts interact with reactants to form products. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD): Fortran is employed to model the flow of gases and liquids in catalytic reactors, which is essential for optimizing reactor design and operation. Catalyst design: By simulating the behavior of different catalyst materials, Fortran helps in the design and discovery of new catalysts with improved performance.
