Description

While different balance species can be specified in different reactor blocks RMG seems to only assign one balance species (right now it seems to be the last one specified). Additionally, that balance species needs to be in at least the first initial mole fractions block if not all of them to avoid crashing when RMG searches for the balance species in the initial mole fractions.

Research direction

Start by tracing reactor-block handling and the initial mole-fraction lookup for balance species. Verify how multiple reactor blocks retain their specified balance species and how missing entries are handled; done means different balance species work per block without a crash.
