Reactor simulation
1 inlet -> 1 outlet (stoichiometric conversion)
Governing equations
The exact equations the solver works for a reactor — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.
- \xi
- reaction extent [mol/s]
- X
- conversion of the key component
- F
- molar flow [mol/s]
- z
- mole fraction
- \nu
- stoichiometric coefficient
- \dot n
- component molar flow [mol/s]
- h
- molar enthalpy [J/mol]
- \Delta H_{rxn}
- heat of reaction [J/mol]
- Q
- duty [W]
- i
- component index
Parameters
stoichiometry {component: coefficient (- reactants, + products)}, key_component (a reactant), conversion (0..1]; optional heat_of_reaction [J/mol extent, +endothermic], outlet_temperature [K] (else adiabatic); optional activation_energy [J/mol] adds Arrhenius temperature->rate feedback in a dynamic run (thermal runaway; steady state unaffected)
