The Reversible Reaction Group node (

) allows input of a large number of reversible reactions in the same table. All reactions are treated in the same way. More than one Reversible Reaction Group can be added to a component. The feature is typically used when importing CHEMKIN kinetics files.
Add the node from the Reaction Engineering toolbar or right-click
Reaction Engineering and add it from the context menu.
For the case when reaction kinetics data are entered manually into the Reaction table and nonisothermal conditions apply (
Energy Balance is set to
Include), right-click to add a
Reaction Thermodynamics subnode or select it from the
Reaction Engineering toolbar,
Attributes menu. In it, the Enthalpy of Reaction (J/mol) for each reaction can be specified.
The reversible reactions in the Reaction table are numbered and contain reactants, products, and kinetic parameters describing the reaction. Use the buttons under the
Reaction table to add and sort the reaction details.
Click to select the Import CHEMKIN data check box to import a CHEMKIN
Kinetics input file. To import the data directly into the table columns, click
Browse to locate the CHEMKIN file to be imported, then click
Import.
Enter a reaction number in the Moving reaction (with the number) from table text field and click
Create Reaction to remove the reaction from the
Reaction table to the model tree. This introduces a reaction node named after the reaction number and species names and simultaneously creates corresponding species nodes. This action is powerful, since it enables all the editing possibilities available for
Reaction and
Species nodes.
