Heat transfer with Reaction ( Unknown function error)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I am trying to simulate a catalyst pellet for a highly exothermic reaction. I defined all the global parameters and in the physics, I selected coefficient form PDE for energy balance and transport of diluted species for species balance. I have 2 reactants and 41 products (total of 43 species). The effective diffusivities are a function of temperature and I am using mod1.Tp [here Tp is the particle temperature] to calculate the values. The reaction rates are a function of partial pressures and these are calculated by using mod1.conc of the respective species. When I try to run the study I get the following error.

"The following feature has encountered a problem:

unknown function or operator:
name: Ln
feature: stationary solver1(sol1/s1)
error: unknown function or operator"

Any help will be deeply appreciated .
