Hi Vijay,

Thank you for your reply.

I can confirm your assumptions are correct.

The plotrepresents the total mass within the enclosed domain, and this mass is calculated as a volume integral.

This simulation is transient.

The initial conditions are set with methane (CH4) at 100%, a temperature of 2400K, and a pressure of 39 atm.

The reaction modeled is the one-step thermal decomposition of methane: CH4 ==> 2H2 + C.

Additionally, I have utilized this method for more complex reactions and compared the results with Chemkin, finding them to be similar, without any issues during the simulation runs.
