How to fix mass balance error on RCSTR kinetic reaction in ASPEN PLUS?
I am currently working on simulation of Fast Pyrolysis of Oil palm biomass to produce bio-oil whereby I am using RCSTR as a pyrolysis reactor so that I can optimize pyrolysis temperature and residence time. However, after running my simulation I keep getting the Aspen error that some of the kinetic reactions that I specified in the RCSTR reactor does not satisfy the mass balance (The kinetic reactions were obtained from literature). Then it asks me to check stoichiometry/Molecular weights. I tried to check both but no luck.Hope that you guys can enlighten me on this if you have faced similar issue.
