It is crucial for the researcher to be aware of various restrictions when utilisingsimulations.
This is due to the simulations' non-exact behaviour, the lack of crucial analysis-relevant features, and the lack of approximations of what actually occurs with what they are simulating.
When modeling the synthesis of Ammonia, for example, these limitations can cause inaccuracies that will compromise the entire analysis.
Which method is used for synthesis of ammonia?
The Haber-Bosch process
The dominant ammonia production process is the Haber-Bosch process invented in 1904 which requires high temperature (~500°C) and high pressure (150–300 bar), in addition to efficient catalysts3,4.
Natural gas or coal is used as the energy source of the ammonia industry.
