udf
 
Hello experts,
Below is a short UDF i wrote to calculate the density of supercritical CO2, however it
does not run, it gives a floating point error.
If firstly,I replace the C_P(c,t) with a value say 2 bars it calculates the correct
density though constant throughout. Secondly, if I initialize the gauge pressure in the
solve menu, it uses that value as C_P(c,t) which results to constant density in the
bed... does not depict any pressure drop or change.
I just wandering and wondering where the problem could be.
inlet boundary condition- mass inflow and pressure outlet BC.
regards

The macro for density is C_R(c,t) in mem.h try using the macro instead of the variable rho
