Dear All,
I am doing Flare simulation and for that I am using Fluent EDC model. when I am checking flow rate of fuel sepcies at Inlet is less than flow rate of that species at outlet. There is element mass balance error. How should I overcome this problem. Please suggest me Thank you |

You have species or element mass inbalance. These are not the same.
Don't forget to take into account, that chemical reactions in a domain can be sink or source of species. |

thank you for your reply.
1. i am talking about element mass imbalance. 2. my fuel is c3h6.. the flame is generated still the c3h6 @ outlet is more than inlet.... this is the first time i am facing such type of problems please suggest |

Could you send more detail?
- the reaction is one step or detailed with further reactions? - temperature? - reaction model/turbulence model? |
