PROCEDURE

Click on the start menu. Select programs.

Open a new case. Click the new icon on the toolbar.

Enter the following values in the specified fluid package view:

Property package
Components

Peng Robinson
1 n-heptane
2 Toluene
3 Hydrogen

Add a reaction and choose a conversion type of reaction.

Add a stream with following values.

Name
Temperature
Molar flow

n-heptane
65F
100 lbmole/h
