Number of Points for Profiles
This entry defines the number of points for the printout of profiles along the reactor length.
Integration Options
The Runge-Kutta integration method may be specified with a fixed number of steps or with a defined step size. Where steep concentration or temperature profiles are expected in the reactor, the variable step size Gear method or LSODA method should be selected.
Duty Tolerance
Specify the relative convergence tolerance for reactor duty calculation.
