Problems When Setting Simulation Input

Detailed information can be obtained using the View/Report menu. This gives details about individual blocks. The View/History menu gives information about the convergence and what calculations have been done. The View/Input Summary lists the parameters you have set. Every report should have a flow sheet with blocks and streams labeled, mass and energy balances referenced to the flow sheet, and a text description of the process. You should outline the problem, describe the choices you have made, and list all the ways you examined your results for validity. When you are really done, you can choose File and Export. In the Save as type window, scroll down to report Files (. rep see Fig. C.l 1). Save that. It creates a text version of the whole simulation, giving aU the detail you supplied and all the results. It is very useful to document your work (perhaps as an Appendix in a report), and the report gives the detail needed to... 

The basic framework and procedures to simulate alkaline-related processes are presented in Example 10.4. When a particular case is specified, the details of the reaction chemistry and input data set required must conform to that particular case. This section briefly provides one more case that includes clay and silica dissolution/precipitation based on the description by Bhuyan (1989). This section presents only the elements, species, reactions, and equilibria that are not listed or different from those in Example 10.4. We add this case because clay and silica dissolution or precipitation is a common problem. For more cases, see Mohammadi (2008).
