Stoichiometric (Yield) Reactor¶
The IDAES Stoichiometric reactor model represents a unit operation where a single material stream undergoes some chemical reaction(s) subject to a set of extent or yield specifications.
Degrees of Freedom¶
Stoichiometric reactors generally have degrees of freedom equal to the number of reactions + 1.
Typical fixed variables are:
- reaction extents or yields (1 per reaction),
- reactor heat duty (has_heat_transfer = True only).
Model Structure¶
The core Stoichiometric reactor unit model consists of a single ControlVolume0DBlock (named control_volume) with one Inlet Port (named inlet) and one Outlet Port (named outlet).
Variables¶
Stoichiometric reactors units add the following variables:
Variable | Name | Notes |
---|---|---|
\(Q_t\) | heat | Only if has_heat_transfer = True, reference to control_volume.heat |
\(deltaP_t\) | pressure change | Only if has_pressure_change = True, reference to control_volume.deltaP |
Constraints¶
Stoichiometric reactor units write no additional Constraints beyond those written by the control_volume Block.

Default ProcessBlockData config
- Keys
- dynamic
- Indicates whether this model will be dynamic or not, default = useDefault. Valid values: { useDefault - get flag from parent (default = False), True - set as a dynamic model, False - set as a steady-state model.}
- has_holdup
- Indicates whether holdup terms should be constructed or not. Must be True if dynamic = True, default - False. Valid values: { True - construct holdup terms, False - do not construct holdup terms}

- Indicates what type of mass balance should be constructed, default - MaterialBalanceType.componentPhase. Valid values: { MaterialBalanceType.none - exclude material balances, MaterialBalanceType.componentPhase - use phase component balances, MaterialBalanceType.componentTotal - use total component balances, MaterialBalanceType.elementTotal - use total element balances, MaterialBalanceType.total - use total material balance.}
- energy_balance_type
- Indicates what type of energy balance should be constructed, default - EnergyBalanceType.enthalpyTotal. Valid values: { EnergyBalanceType.none - exclude energy balances, EnergyBalanceType.enthalpyTotal - single enthalpy balance for material, EnergyBalanceType.enthalpyPhase - enthalpy balances for each phase, EnergyBalanceType.energyTotal - single energy balance for material, EnergyBalanceType.energyPhase - energy balances for each phase.}
- momentum_balance_type
- Indicates what type of momentum balance should be constructed, default - MomentumBalanceType.pressureTotal. Valid values: { MomentumBalanceType.none - exclude momentum balances, MomentumBalanceType.pressureTotal - single pressure balance for material, MomentumBalanceType.pressurePhase - pressure balances for each phase, MomentumBalanceType.momentumTotal - single momentum balance for material, MomentumBalanceType.momentumPhase - momentum balances for each phase.}
- has_heat_of_reaction
- Indicates whether terms for heat of reaction terms should be constructed, default - False. Valid values: { True - include heat of reaction terms, False - exclude heat of reaction terms.}
- has_heat_transfer
- Indicates whether terms for heat transfer should be constructed, default - False. Valid values: { True - include heat transfer terms, False - exclude heat transfer terms.}
- has_pressure_change
- Indicates whether terms for pressure change should be constructed, default - False. Valid values: { True - include pressure change terms, False - exclude pressure change terms.}
- property_package
- Property parameter object used to define property calculations, default - useDefault. Valid values: { useDefault - use default package from parent model or flowsheet, PropertyParameterObject - a PropertyParameterBlock object.}
- property_package_args
- A ConfigBlock with arguments to be passed to a property block(s) and used when constructing these, default - None. Valid values: { see property package for documentation.}
- reaction_package
- Reaction parameter object used to define reaction calculations, default - None. Valid values: { None - no reaction package, ReactionParameterBlock - a ReactionParameterBlock object.}
- reaction_package_args
- A ConfigBlock with arguments to be passed to a reaction block(s) and used when constructing these, default - None. Valid values: { see reaction package for documentation.}
- initialize (dict) – ProcessBlockData config for individual elements. Keys are BlockData indexes and values are dictionaries described under the “default” argument above.
- idx_map (function) – Function to take the index of a BlockData element and return the index in the initialize dict from which to read arguments. This can be provided to overide the default behavior of matching the BlockData index exactly to the index in initialize.
