    Hi!

    I am currently using the script manager in order to outline a heterogenous catalytic reaction for methanol synthesis. The series of reactions I am trying to model in the PFR is:

    (1) CO + 2H2 = CH3OH
    (2) CO2 + H2 = CO + H20
    (3) CO2 + 3H2 = CH3OH + H20

    The issue I am running into is that the rate equation for (1) has a parameter that includes chemical species that are not present in the reaction, so I cannot designate it as R1,R2,P1,...or something similar in the script. I was wondering if there is a way to work around this?

    If you add the species with a stoichiometric coefficient equal to 0, they will be available as N1, N2...
