Hi @abhi24x7, welcome to IDAES. It seems there are two parts to your question, and it sounds like you are trying to do a fairly custom model. Firstly, on the topic of the reactor itself. It is possible to use the core PFR model and turn off the mass, energy and/or pressure balances if you desire, but at that point you might be better off asking if it is better to use a completely custom model. Depending on how you want to write the reaction model, you might also need to change how the extent of reaction is defined - the PFR uses On the topic of the reactions, you can write your own custom reaction package. A simple example can be found here: https://github.com/IDAES/idaes-pse/blob/main/idaes/models/properties/examples/saponification_reactions.py. This uses a simple Arrhenius power law model, but you can replace those equations with those of your choice. As long as the final rate is on a volumetric basis (e.g. mol/m^3), it will fit into the core models. |

Dear IDAES community,
I just started using the framework a week ago and I would like to thank all the concerned developers for working on the tutorials and examples, they really gave me insights about how the platform works. It was a really good guide.
Now, through this thread, I am seeking your help to make a custom packed bed PFR model with my own Mass & Energy balance equations and rate equations (which are not simple Arrhenius model), I just want to know how can I declare the same?
Thank you very much!
