What is Residence Time?
ሶ𝑚
Average time (𝜏) =Fluid mass (𝑚)
Mass flow rate ሶ(𝑚)=
Fluid volume (𝑉)
Volume flow rate ሶ(𝑉)
• the time that a particle spends in a particular system
Not all particles (fluid elements) spend the same time in the system

Why is Residence Time important?
• Different RT Different process time
• lower mixing
• Lower heat transfer
• Less homogeneous temperature distribution
• Lower reaction rates

What is Residence Time Distribution (RTD)?
• a probability distribution function that describes the time a fluid element could spend in the system
• The RTD is usually represented by a function called the exit age distribution function, E(t).

How to calculate the RT in Star-CCM+?
2. For single-phase simulations
Using a Passive Scalar
• The passive scalar model can be used to trackthe accumulation of a field in the flow simulation
• If the transported scalar function represents the time, then the source term should be set as the density
• This attaches a virtual clock to each volume element of the fluid.

How to calculate the RT in Star-CCM+?
1. Activate the Passive Scalar model.
2. Create a passive scalar and rename it ResidenceTime.
3. Create a field function and rename
it ResidenceTimeSource with a definition of
${Density}
Or ($ResidenceTime < 10000)? ${Density} : 0
The value of 10000 represents a maximum time, which is necessary if the flow field has a vortex or recirculation. Otherwise, time would grow to infinity.
4. Select the Regions > Fluid > Physics
Conditions > Passive Scalar Source Option node and
select Mass flux for Source Definition.
