I'm doing a project in acrylic acid production. I'm designing using a COCO stimulation,everything was running well until i reach the reactor, my challenge is that the stream leaving the reactor have zero moles of acrylic acid and thats my main product, I have assigned all my reaction to the reactor

please help with setting and adjacement so I can produce acrylic acid on the stream leaving the reactor

The compressed air contains water vapor at an amount that would saturate the air at 25C and 1atm. The components are mixed and fed to the reactor at 4.3atm. The mole fractions of the feed are: 0.05 propylene, 0.55 air and 0.4 steam. The reactions occurring withing the reactor are as follows: C3H6+1.5O2C3H4O2+H2O Propylene acrylic acid C3H6+4.5O23CO2+3H2O Solve finistred in 375ms
