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
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.

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.
When i run the simulation it shows error, no reactor headspace defined. Their is no data about headspace in problem statement.
Material stream status shows "not calculated".
After selecting the units and when I add feed it shows NRTL Error: Missing interaction parameters for binary pair acetic acid/ethanol.
I am getting the heat load of the CSTR ( in results) as -5.68434E-13.and outlet temperature in the CSTR property editor as 70 C while here in spoken tutorials it is showing as 25C.
The conversion is way off. Attaching the simulation file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/16DSJ-Ps7f5_kmq5gc6eyVhutsj2erBvH/view?usp=sharing
Hello,I'm not getting heat load correctly in result section as per the tutorial results,i try so many times but getting heat load -32.0258KW
I followed the same procedure and the heat load estimation is different in my simulation. Do you know why it is happened? Thanks
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.
I am following the exact same steps as shown in tutorial but when I solve flowsheet, I am getting 2 errors Maximum number of iterations reachedErrors occurred during the calculation of the flowsheet, please read the following messages for more details.
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*

while checking the conversion after solving the flow sheet..I saw the conversion of water as 2390.06%..is there any error while solving flowswheet
how to know the Tmin And Tmax range vaild for the define rate constant ?1) Repeat this simulation with different compounds and thermodynamics Compounds: Methyl Acetate, 1-Butanol, Methanol, N-Butyl Acetate Property Package: Raoult's Law 2) Repeat this simulation with different feed conditions Inlet stream: Mass Flow: 3600kg/h Mole Fraction(CH3OH): 0.1 Mole Fraction(C4H9OH): 0.45 Mole Fraction(CH3COOCH3): 0.45 Temperature: 75 degree C Pressure: 5 bar 3) Repeat this simulation with different CSTR dimensions and reaction kinetics CSTR Dimensions: Volume: 4 m3 Reaction rate: rA = KCACB K = 0.01 , n = 2
How to set up the range for Tmin and Tmax? Are there any rules upon selecting the range?
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
