Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Mass of carbon in feedstock = 85
- Mass of carbon in syngas = 76.5
Expected Result:
- Carbon conversion efficiency = 0.9
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Carbon conversion efficiency = 0.9 dimensionless.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
carbon conversion efficiency = (mass of carbon in syngas / mass of carbon in feedstock)Carbon conversion efficiency.
