I am trying to model a reaction in a triangular duct reactor. The only reaction is CO2 methanation and phase is gas. The reaction rate part I selected user defined and the rate equation is a function of temperature and partial pressure.
I first used space dimension (0D) and Physics (reaction engineering), and study was time dependent or stationary plug flow. I could get the results of the changes of molar flow rate and temperature along the time or reactor volume.
But when I tried to generate space-dependent model, I set all parameters and values and I used stationary study to run the model, but I had the error:

Please could I ask, what was wrong with my simulation? I tried to use some simple rate equations for reaction rate before and I could get the results where I could clearly find the temperature and concentration distribution in my reactor model. So is there anything wrong with the reaction rate equation?
