When RadFrac simulates the distillation of sulfuric acid and water, should ELECNRTL be used as the physical property method?

When using ASPEN's RadFrac to simulate sulfuric acid and water distillation, should ELECNRTL be used as the physical property method? Should I use the True component approach or the Apparent component approach in the electrolyte guide? Recommend a theoretical plate number and reflux ratio. . Why do I keep reporting errors? * * * :Q SEVERE ERROR MATERIAL AND ENERGY BALANCES FAILED TO CONVERGE: CHECK COL-SPECS OR SUPPLY BETTER TEMPERATURE AND COMPOSITION ESTIMATES. * * * SEVERE ERROR THE FOLLOWING STAGES DRIED UP: 5 6 A LIMIT OF 0.10000E-04 * SUM OF FEEDS WAS IMPOSED ON THE FLOW RATES. * * ERROR BLOCK B1 IS NOT IN MASS BALANCE: MASS INLET FLOW = 0.47261278E-01, MASS OUTLET FLOW = 0.65281875E-01 RELATIVE DIFFERENCE = 0.38129727E+00 * WARNING STREAM 2 IS NOT IN CHARGE BALANCE: ANION FLOW = -.19619664E-03, CATION FLOW = 0.35810009E-04 RELATIVE DIFFERENCE = -.44788212E+01 * WARNING STREAM 3 IS NOT IN CHARGE BALANCE: ANION FLOW = -.88608389E-04, CATION FLOW = 0.40697898E-04 RELATIVE DIFFERENCE = -.11772227E+01

It works. You need to use True component approach and select reaction under reaction under radfrac. Good luck.~~

Is the 2-step ionization equation for sulfuric acid entered?
