Hi,

I am planning to use ansys to model oil, hydrogen reaction and understand the chamge of priperties in oil.

Is this possible in ansys.

Thank you.

Chemistry, yes, look at the species models. Similarly multiphase (gas, liquid etc) can be modelled.

Are there any tutorials or references for this? I couldn't find any details regarding the change in oil properties and reaction with the gas phase. The thing is, I don't no the possible reactions. Is there any database for this?

[Rob]

There will be many databases with the reaction kinetics, not least because "oil" isn't a single material and varies around the world. If it's for a MEng type study maybe simplify things a little and look at a couple of longer chain hydrocarbons? 

There are more general tutorials in the Fluent Help system, and in Learning (upper left) on this page.
