The plug-flow problem may be formulated with a variable cross-sectional area and heterogeneous chemistry on the channel walls. Although the cross-sectional area varies, we make a quasi-one-dimensional assumption in which the flow can still be represented with only one velocity component u. It is implicitly assumed that the area variation is sufficiently small and smooth that the one-dimensional approximation is valid. Otherwise a two- or three-dimensional analysis is needed. Including the surface chemistry causes the system of equations to change from an ordinary-differential equation system to a differential-algebraic equation system. 

Differential algebraic equation systems whose algebraic equations explicitly involve manipulated input variables are referred to as nonregular (Kumar and Daoutidis 1999a). See also Definition A.6.

Investigation 10 was a study of fixed-bed reactor models and their application to the data of Hettinger et al. (1955) on catalytic reforming of C7 hydrocarbons. The heuristic posterior density function p 6 Y) proposed by Stewart (1987) was used to estimate the rate and equilibrium parameters of various reaction schemes, two of which were reported in the article. The data were analyzed with and without models for the intraparticle and boundary-layer transport. The detailed transport model led to a two-dimensional differential-algebraic equation system, which was solved via finite-element discretization in the reactor radial coordinate and...

A differential- algebraic equations system is indicated with the acronym DAE. 

Note that many problems of different kinds (i.e., the solution of differential-algebraic equation systems or constrained optimization problems) lead to the numerical solution of an underdimensioned nonlinear system. 

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. 

The numerical computation is only based on the simulated output signal. Thus no restrictions have to be assumed on the type of nonlinear systems that can be considered. Therefore for any system that can be simulated, including systems described by differential-algebraic equations, systems with non-smooth nonlinearities, etc., the nonlinearity measure can be calculated.

Off-line analysis, controller design, and optimization are now performed in the area of dynamics. The largest dynamic simulation has been about 100,000 differential algebraic equations (DAEs) for analysis of control systems. Simulations formulated with process models having over 10,000 DAEs are considered frequently. Also, detailed training simulators have models with over 10,000 DAEs. On-line model predictive control (MPC) and nonlinear MPC using first-principle models are seeing a number of industrial applications, particularly in polymeric reactions and processes. At this point, systems with over 100 DAEs have been implemented for on-line dynamic optimization and control.

The system of equations in the Von Mises form leads to a coupled system of nonlinear differential-algebraic equations. The transport equations (Eqs. 7.59 and 7.62) have parabolic characteristics, with the axial coordinate z being the timelike direction. The other three equations (Eqs. 7.60, 7.61, and 7.63) are viewed as algebraic constraints—in the sense that they have no timelike derivatives. 

An important issue in the boundary-layer problem, and in differential-algebraic equations generally, is the specification of consistent initial conditions. We think first of the physical problem (not in Von Mises form), since the inlet profiles of u, v, and T, as well as pressure p, must be specified. However, all the initial conditions are not independent, as they would be for a system of standard-form ordinary differential equations. So assuming that the axial velocity u and temperature T profiles are specified, the radial velocity must be required to satisfy certain constraints. 

In a highly simplified form, a governing system of differential-algebraic equations can be written as... 

Taken together, the system of equations represents a set of stiff ordinary differential equations, which can be solved numerically. Because more than one dependent-variable derivative can appear in a single equation (e.g., the momentum equation has velocity and pressure derivatives), it is usually more convenient to use differential-algebraic equation (DAE) software (e.g., Dassl) for the solution rather than standard-form ODE software. 

The site-fraction constraint (Eq. 16.64) means that all the s in Eq. 16.63 are not independent. Therefore only Ks — 1 of Eq. 16.63 are solved. Solving the plug-flow problem requires satisfying the algebraic constraints represented by Eqs. 16.63 and 16.64 at every point along the channel surface. The coupled problem is posed naturally as a system of differential-algebraic equations. 

Dassl, solves stiff systems of differential-algebraic equations (DAE) using backward differentiation techniques [13,46]. The solution of coupled parabolic partial differential equations (PDE) by techniques like the method of lines is often formulated as a system of DAEs. It automatically controls integration errors and stability by varying time steps and method order.

Process-scale models represent the behavior of reaction, separation and mass, heat, and momentum transfer at the process flowsheet level, or for a network of process flowsheets. Whether based on first-principles or empirical relations, the model equations for these systems typically consist of conservation laws (based on mass, heat, and momentum), physical and chemical equilibrium among species and phases, and additional constitutive equations that describe the rates of chemical transformation or transport of mass and energy. These process models are often represented by a collection of individual unit models (the so-called unit operations) that usually correspond to major pieces of process equipment, which, in turn, are captured by device-level models. These unit models are assembled within a process flowsheet that describes the interaction of equipment either for steady state or dynamic behavior. As a result, models can be described by algebraic or differential equations. As illustrated in Figure 3 for a PEFC-base power plant, steady-state process flowsheets are usually described by lumped parameter models described by algebraic equations. Similarly, dynamic process flowsheets are described by lumped parameter models comprising differential-algebraic equations. Models that deal with spatially distributed models are frequently considered at the device...

The resulting system is called a set of differential-algebraic equations (DAE) and their solution is now a specialised field with its own texts [130, 286] and there is a package program, DASSL [441], for their solution. This can be of use in the present context, for example with the method of lines, which indeed often results in a DAE system. This is gone into in some detail in Chap. 9, in the context of Rosenbrock methods.
