SPECIFY THE INITIAL CONDITIONS

Title of keyword block used to specify the ambient temperature and the temperature of the reactor components at the beginning of the simulation. For steady-state solution, these temperatures are used as initial guesses, while for transient simulation they are the initial conditions. Requires END statement to close keyword block.

TEMPERATURE OF WAFERS =

Provides the initial temperature of the wafers in the reactor load. Part of the SPECIFY THE INITIAL CONDITIONS keyword block.

Example: TEMPERATURE OF WAFERS = 600.0

Units: K

TEMPERATURE OF HEATERS =

Provides the initial temperature of the heaters for the reactor. Part of the SPECIFY THE INITIAL CONDITIONS keyword block.

Example: TEMPERATURE OF HEATERS = 600.0

Units: K

TEMPERATURE OF INSULATION =

Provides the initial temperature of the insulation for the reactor. Part of the SPECIFY THE INITIAL CONDITIONS keyword block.

Example: TEMPERATURE OF INSULATION = 400.0

Units: K

TEMPERATURE OF END CAPS =

Provides the initial temperature of the end caps of the reactor. Part of the SPECIFY THE INITIAL CONDITIONS keyword block.

Example: TEMPERATURE OF END CAPS = 600.0

Units: K

TEMPERATURE OF QUARTZ =

Provides the initial temperature of the quartz tubes in the reactor. Part of the SPECIFY THE INITIAL CONDITIONS keyword block.

Example: TEMPERATURE OF QUARTZ = 600.0

Units: K

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE =

Provides the ambient temperature around the reactor. Part of the SPECIFY THE INITIAL CONDITIONS keyword block.

Example: AMBIENT TEMPERATURE = 300.00

Units: K
