Equilibrium Reactor - Extent of Reaction
Use this window to define the approach to equilibrium for the reaction. The default is complete equilibrium.
Usage
Select the temperature or fractional approach by clicking on the radio button.
Temperature Approach
Enter the value for the temperature approach to equilibrium.
Fractional Approach
The Base Component defaults to the selection in the Reaction Data - Heat of Reaction Data Window. The equilibrium conversion of this component will be multiplied by the fractional approach to determine the actual conversion. The approach is entered as the A, B and C coefficients in the Approach equation. If B and C are zero, the approach is independent of temperature. If the approach is temperature dependent, you may select the required Temperature Unit by clicking on its text.
