The equation set in this example was solved by using a differential-algebraic equation solver called gPROMS from Process Systems Enterprises (www.pse. com). It can also be solved with other software and programming languages such as FORTRAN. Example 16 is too complicated to be done on a spreadsheet.

MESH) equations which are solved for the whole column, decanter included and taking into account the liquid-liquid phase split. Numerical treatment of the Differential Algebraic Equation (DAE) system and discrete events handling is performed with DISCo, a numerical package for hybrid systems with a DAE solver based on Gear s method. The column technical features and operating conditions are shown in Table 4. A sequence of two operational batch steps, namely... 

Only numerical solutions of the VERSE model can be obtained [65]. The partial differential equations are discretized by application of the method of orthogonal collocation on fixed finite elements. Equation 16.59 is divided into 50 or 60 elements, each with four interior collocation points. Legendre polynomials are used for each element. For Eq. 16.62, only one element is required. It is described by a Jacobi polynomial with two interior collocation points. The resulting set of ordinary differential equations, with their initial and boundary conditions and the chemical equations, are solved using a differential algebraic system solver (DASSL) [65,66].

Several of these simple mass balances with basic rate expressions were solved analytically. In the case of multiple reactions with nonlinear rate expressions (i.e., not first-order reaction rates), the balances must be solved numerically. A high-quality ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver is indispensable for solving these problems. For a complex equation of state and nonconstant-volume case, a differential-algebraic equation (DAE) solver may be convenient. 

The calculations for the nonconstant-density case may be greatly simplified by using a differential-algebraic equation (DAE) solver, All three cases enumerated above can be handled by modifying the residual equations provided to the DAE solver. We do not have to differentiate the equation of state or perform other algebraic manipulations that are required if one uses an ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver. 

In Equation-Oriented (EO) approach the software architecture is close to a solver of equations. EO is more suited for dynamic simulation since this can be modelled by a system of differential-algebraic equations (DAE) of the form ... 

Integration in time direction is achieved by LIMEX, which is a solver for stiff differential-algebraic equation systems. LIMEX was developed by the Konrad Zuse Zentrum in Berlin. For all calculations a relative tolerance of RTOL=10 was used. However, smaller tolerances gave the same simulation results. 

Simultaneous solution of the so-called differential-algebraic equation (DAE) set requires coupling of the ODE and algebraic equation solvers, the latter which are not discussed here, but can be found in detail elsewhere [ 1 ]. Description of a DAE set and its solution in the context of a one-dimensional (ID) heterogeneous packed-bed reactor model for autothermal conversion of methane to hydrogen is available in the literature [7]. It is also worth noting that packages such as DASSL and DAEPACK are also available for the solution of coupled DAE sets. 

The association of Predicat-Transition Petri Net with differential algebraic equations (DAE) systems are particularly well fitted to describe dynamic and comportmental aspects. Places with DAE system are called hybrid places and are drawn with two concentric circles. The kernel of the simulator is split up into 3 units a discrete solver, a continuous solver and a simulation manager which manages the interactions between the solvers. Figure 2 shows the simulation cycle.

Following a discussion of polynomial interpolation and numerical integration, a survey is presented of the major techniques for solving IVPs, as implemented in MATLAB. Then, the issues of numerical accuracy and stability are treated at deptii for commonly-used ODE solvers. Next, we consider differential-algebraic equation (DAE) systems that contain both... 

Equation (4.78) is a set of nonlinear algebraic equation and may be solved using various techniques [64], Often the nonlinear differential Eq. (4.77) are solved to the steady-state condition in place of the algebraic equations using the stiff ordinary differential equation solvers described in Chapter 2 [65], See Appendix I for more information on available numerical codes. 

Develop two method-of-lines simulations to solve this problem. In the first, formulate the problem as standard-form ordinary differential equations, y7 = ff(f, y). In the second, formulate the problem in differential-algebraic (DAE) form, 0 = g(t, y, y ). Standard-form stiff, ordinary-differential-equation (ODE) solvers are readily avalaible. DAE solvers are less readily available, but Dassl is a good choice. The Fortran source code for Dassl is available at http //wwwjietlib.org. 

The user specified subroutines allow for connections to various other programs such as process simulators and ordinary differential equation solvers. Currently, MINOPT is connected to the DASOLV (Jarvis and Pantelides, 1992) integrator, and can solve MINLP models with differential and algebraic constraints. 

The dynamic behavior of the reactor can be simulated by solving Eqs. (1)—(6). The differential-algebraic solver DASSL [14] is used to give the solution of these equations. The initial conditions for MA, MB, Me, Mo used in all simulation studies are 12, 12, 0, and Okmol, respectively. The initial values of both reactor and jacket temperature are set to 20 °C. Other process parameter values used in the reactor models are listed in Table 1. 

M is a singular Matrix. Zero entries on the main diagonal of this matrix identify the algebraic equations, and all other entries which have the value 1 represent the differential equation. The vector x describes the state of the system. As numeric tools for the solution of the DAE system, MATLAB with the solver odel5s was used. In this solver, a Runge Kutta procedure is coupled with a BDF procedure (Backward Difference Formula). An implicit numeric scheme is used by the solver.
