Real Data - up to 70 elements
You may supply a Fortran routine as an in-line procedure to calculate kinetic reaction rates. Use this window to supply real, integer and supplemental data values and to specify parameters for a the procedure in terms of other flowsheet variables.
Entering Data Arrays
Real, integer and supplemental data are supplied to the subroutine in the three tables. Each table represents an array in the Fortran calculation. For each, you must enter the number of the array element and then the value that is associated with this element. The limits on these arrays are:
Real Data - up to 70 elements
Integer Data - up to 10 elements
Supplemental Data - up to 200 elements
You must know which elements of each array are used by the calculation and enter the required data. Values may be entered for any or all of the elements in the arrays. The elements defined need not be contiguous and may be entered in any order. See Editing Tabular Data for further information on tabular data entry.
PRO/II knows nothing about the data requirements of the rate calculation and so no restrictions are imposed in the data entry. You must check the validity and completeness of the data in the subroutine or procedure.
You may also enter data into the variables in the Real Data table using the Define system.
The variables in the Real Data table are also available to other unit operations by means of SPECs, VARYs and DEFINEs. The other tables are used solely by the kinetic rate subroutine or procedure.
Entering Procedure Data
The procedure data table allows you to specify parameters in terms of other calculated flowsheet variables. Select a parameter Name from the drop down list. Parameters are defined in the Declaration section of the Kinetic Procedure Definition Window. Press the Define button to specify the parameter in terms of calculated flowsheet variables using the Define system.
How to get to this window
The User Kinetics Procedure Data window is accessed by selecting a kinetic Procedure Name on the Plug Flow Reactor - Unit Reaction Definitions Window, Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor - Unit Reaction Definitions Window or the Batch Reactor - Unit Reaction Definitions Window and pressing the Enter Data button.
