Dear Sir:
I create one Water Gas Shift reaction in CFX-Pre as follows: But After finishing CFX-Pre and preceed to CFX-Solve, one error occurs in the next following paragraph. I have set the unit to [s^-1} already, but error still occurs again and again, although I ducplicate other good reaction to modify and reset. Anyone know what's up with my reactions ? Thanks for your help!!! H.L. -------------------------------------- REACTION: Water Gas Shift reaction Option = Single Step BACKWARD REACTION RATE: Option = Arrhenius Pre Exponential Factor = 2.65e-2[s^-1] Temperature Exponent = 0 REACTION ACTIVATION: Activation Energy = 3.96 [J mol^-1] Option = Activation Energy END END FORWARD REACTION RATE: Option = Arrhenius Pre Exponential Factor = 2.75E9 [s^-1] Temperature Exponent = 0. REACTION ACTIVATION: Activation Energy = 8.38E4 [J mol^-1] Option = Activation Energy END END PRODUCTS: Materials List = CO2,H2 Option = Child Materials CHILD MATERIAL: CO2 Option = Stoichiometric Stoichiometric Coefficient = 1.0 END CHILD MATERIAL: H2 Option = Stoichiometric Stoichiometric Coefficient = 0 END END REACTANTS: Materials List = CO,H2O Option = Child Materials CHILD MATERIAL: CO Option = Stoichiometric Stoichiometric Coefficient = 1.0 END CHILD MATERIAL: H2O Option = Stoichiometric Stoichiometric Coefficient = 1.0 END END END -----ERROR----------------------------------- Error in setting: ""Pre Exponential Factor"" via the expression: 2.75E9 [s^-1] Error detected at the end of the expression. Expression has wrong dimensions required units: m^3 s^-1 mol^-1, expression's units: s^-1. Error processing expression: Pre Exponential Factor = 2.75E9 [s^-1] +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | An error has occurred in cfx5solve: | | | | C:\CFX\CFX-5.7\bin\winnt\ccl2flow.exe exited with return code 3. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ |

Your forward and backward reactions are:
R(forward) = kf[CO][H2O] R(backward) = kb[CO2] {[H2] order 0} The kf and kb, necessarily need to be in different units, because they are being multiplied by different multiples of concentrations. There error message here is telling you the units you should be using. To cancel out the extra concentration multiplier {mol/m^3} your kf needs extra units of {m^3 mol^-1 s^-1}. This will give a final rate in mol m^-3 s^-1. Jeff |

you must to delete de order of reaction in one of the reactant in order to get a first order reaaction otherwise ou will need a second order units for arrhenius equation
