The Feed Inlet (
) feature is used for adding inlet streams to the reactor.
After adding a Reaction node and setting its
Reactor to
CSTR, constant volume,
CSTR, constant mass/generic, or
Semi, add a
Feed Inlet node from the
Reaction Engineering toolbar or right-click the
Reaction Engineering node to add it from the context menu.
Edit the Volumetric feed rate (
vf) (SI unit: m
3/s) to fit the modeling conditions.
The Feed inlet temperature (
Tf) is required as input when nonisothermal conditions are investigated (
Energy Balance is set to
Include).
For each of the Species, enter values or expressions in the table for the Concentration (mol/m^3) and
Enthalpy (J/mol) to set both the composition and enthalpy of the feed inlet stream. Note that in the rightmost column of the
Feed inlet concentration and enthalpy table, it is possible to select that the thermodynamic properties are taken from a
Species node instead.
