Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Working volume, inlet flow. Returns Dilution rate and nominal retention. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. CSTR working volume (L): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Inlet flow (L/hour): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0.
