Values in the rates_ss.out file correspond to quantities at the outlet of the reactor #26

Do the values in the rates_ss.out file correspond to quantities at the outlet of the reactor? If not, please correct the documentation.

Hi @mbkumar, is this correct? Does it differ for different reactors?

skasiraj commented 2 years ago

I believe that is correct. For batch and CSTR it would represent reaction rates at steady-state. For PFR-0D (series of CSTR's) and PFR-1D, it would represent the rates at the outlet (node) or outlet solution of the reactor. Do we need to update documentation with this?

MaxRCohen commented 2 years ago

Checking the documentation it appears to be stated implicitly, but it would be good to make it explicit somewhere.
