At this point in the inside-out method, the revised column profiles of temperature and phase compositions are used in the outer loop with the complex SRK thermodynamic models to compute updates of the approximate K and H constants. Then only one inner-loop iteration is required to obtain satisfactory convergence of the energy equations. The K and H constants are again updated in the outer loop. After one inner-loop iteration, the approximate K and H constants are found to be sufficiently close to the SRK values that overall convergence is achieved. Thus, a total of only 3 outer-loop iterations and 4 inner-loop iterations are required. 

When the feed composition oecomes enriched in water, as with Case B, the column profile changes drastically (Fig. 3S2b). At the same reflux and boil-iip, the column no longer meets specifications. The MIPK product is lean in MIPK and too rich in water. The profile now tracks generally up the left side of Region 11. Note also the dramatic change in the temperature profile. A pinched zone still exists... 

The effective top and bottom section temperatures are used to determine Kj and KV These are used along with the effective top and bottom section molar liquid and vapor rates to determine S and S. Section temperatures are the average of the top and feed design temperatures for the top section and bottom and feed design temperatures for the bottom section, or averaged column profile data, if available. The molar flows can be obtained assuming equal molar overflow or with averaged column profile data, if available.

Comparison between columns of a contingency table X is also made easier after dividing each element of the table by its corresponding column-sum. This operation is referred to as column-closure as it makes all columns of the table possess the same unit sum. After closure, the columns of the table are called column-profiles. These can also be visualized in the form of stacked histograms as is shown in Fig. 32.2.

The average or expected column-profile results from dividing the marginal column by the global sum. The matrix G of deviations of column-profiles from their expected values is given by ... 

In this case we find that the pattern of column-profiles in is centred about the origin, as can be seen by computing the weighted row-means m ... 

The distance 5 is a measure of the difference of the yth column-profile from the average or expected column-profile.

Water Column DMS Profiles. Nguyen et al. (441 was the first to report DMS water column profiles. One profile had a maximum at 10 m, while the second profile maximum was at 30-32 m. The third profile showed a continual decrease in DMS with depth (0-130 m). They concluded from the data that DMS maximum could move vertically and might account for locally high surface DMS concentrations.

A comprehensive discussion of the most important model parameters covers phase equilibrium, chemical equilibrium, physical properties (e.g., diffusion coefficients and viscosities), hydrodynamic and mass transport properties, and reaction kinetics. The relevant calculation methods for these parameters are explained, and a determination technique for the reaction kinetics parameters is represented. The reaction kinetics of the monoethanolamine carbamate synthesis is obtained via measurements in a stirred-cell reactor. Furthermore, the importance of the reaction kinetics with regard to axial column profiles is demonstrated using a blend of aqueous MEA and MDEA as absorbent.
