Conversion percentage doesn't match with the tutorial
The residence time obtained match with that of tutorial whereas the conversion percentage attained is 65.8% and 63.2% for ethanol and acetic acid respectively (that too by changing the velocity units to kmol/m3s.(version installed is 6.4.3).Kindly help

My results of simulation doesn't match.
Sir, I've performed the entire simulation as per tutorial but the conversion of Ethanol and Acetic acid is showing 0.395404 and 0.379588 respectively. I've run the simulation many times by watching the tutorial but the results doesn't match.

Getting Wrong Results
I am using DWSIM version 8. I have followed the exact steps as mentioned in the tutorial. The CSTR gets simulated successfully but the results are totally different. In Compound conversions, only the acetic acid conversion is being displayed and its value is 1.86E-14 % as opposed to >90 % in the tutorial. Also the heat load is not being displayed.

Improper conversion Value
I use DWSIM version 6: The conversion value I got for synthesis of Ethyl Acetate in a CSTR are Ethanol - 0.395 & Acetic acid - 0.379. i checked every value and steps shown in the tutorial and everything is the same. Every time the value has some difference than the value in tutorial, I understand it is because of versions. But, this low conversion is not accepted. Kindly help me with this.

Kinetics of the reaction not found.
I am using NRTL package with nested loop for the calculation of molar flow and residence time of reaction between CaO and HNO3. I have added the materials using pubchem data in form of joson file. When I am preparing the flowsheet, no error is indicating in error panel but when I am solving the flowsheet it is showing kinetics of reaction not found. What I can do to solve this issue?*While making the compound, no data related to kinetics have been asked*

Mentioning the order of the reaction
Dear Sir /Madam,I) How can I specify the reaction order to be 2 . Should I just specify the DO of the reactants i.e.Ethanol and Acetic acid to be 2 ?ii) The question specified only the value of 'rate constant' and how can we enter it as 'frequency factor' In the Arrhenius equation
