Inlet and Outlet Pressure: Selecting this option will enable the Inlet and Outlet section. User is prompted to enter the data listed under the following section.
Inlet
The feed pressure is the pressure of the lowest feed stream. You may enter either a pressure drop below the feed pressure or enter a value for the inlet pressure.
Outlet
By default, there is no pressure drop across the reactor. You may enter either a pressure drop below the inlet pressure or enter a value for the outlet pressure. The pressure is assumed to vary linearly across the reactor.
