Clarify results for numerical PFR in the _ss.out #23

Open wittregr opened 4 years ago

wittregr commented 4 years ago

Can you please clarify that for a numerical PFR set of results is each row in the _ss.out files a set of values corresponding to the quantities entering the node? Or are they the quantities leaving that node?

Hi @mbkumar, could we get this clarification?

skasiraj commented 3 years ago

From what I can see OpenMKM prints the solution of each node (after integration to Steady State), which presumably would be the values corresponding to the quantities exiting the node.

The naming of the nodes themselves (using volume) corresponding to the center of the CSTR can be discussed as mentioned in the other issue #22.

Yes, this is an important point worth discussing - it is important that both the math must be correct and our documentation's explanation of the math.
