Check Atom Balance ¬ |

---|---|---|
This node is only shown when project data is provided in moles. When Mass Density is selected as units of concentrations in the Units Configuration node, the Check Atom Balance node is hidden.
This feature allows you to check the atom balance in the reaction stoichiometry and experimental data. In order to get a reliable report, the atomic formulae must be correctly loaded for the compounds in the Formula node. Two checks are provided in this node. The first check is for the stoichiometry of the Reactions in the project. In Mode Estimation, an additional report on atom balance error in the experimental data is provided. Atom Balance error is calculated with respect to the first datapoint. This report is provided for all reactors, except for CSTR's with Intermediate Feed and/or Intermediate Separation enabled. A guided explanation about how to use this feature can be found in the Check Atom Balance Example. Grid Views Actions Grid Views Reaction Balance Actions Atom Balance Report
Reaction Balance
Top of Topic This grid reports any inconsistency in the Atom Balance for the reactions, as long as the atom count for the compounds was entered in the Formula node, For the reactions where atom counts are not the same in the left and right hand sides, the sum of the atoms on the Right Hand Side (RHS) and on Left Hand Side (LHS) of the reaction are reported.

Atom Balance Report
In this view, atom balance values and errors are reported for the Sets and Datapoints, in accordance with the options selected in Actions grid. A chart for the atom error is also shown. The table with the numerical information is organized in columns as explained below:
In the chart, the Y axis shows the percentage error for the selected element. When you point to a bar in the chart, a tooltip shows the correponding Set name and Datapoint (DP).
