Engineering equation solver

A parametric study was conducted using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software. Figure 4 illustrates the variation of the exit temperature of the heat pump (or supply temperature of the heat distribution system) in the heating mode versus COP. Normally, in heating systems, the supply temperature of the heat distribution network plays a key role in terms of exergy loss. This temperature is determined via an optimization procedure.

This relation may be used with equations (B) and (C) to incorporate the change in temperature (and thus the associated reaction rate) with fractional conversion. The present problem can be solved via machine computation by choosing a reaction time sufficient to obtain= 0.97. One may employ a differential equation solver such as those in Mat-lab, MathCad, or other engineering software. With either approach one finds that /a = 0.97 at t = 0.117 h or 7.0 min. Evolution of both the fraction conversion and the temperature of the reaction mixture as functions of time is shown in the two panels of Figure IlO.l. Plots of the dependent variables as functions of the time for the batch reaction... 

Given the volumes of the CSTBRs constituting the cascade and the pertinent parameters for the Monod relations, one can solve equations (13.2.71), (13.2.76), (13.2.78), and (13.2.80) simultaneously to ascertain the concentrations of substrate and biomass in the effluents from each of the two chemostats. This task is readily accomplished using engineering software (such as Mathcad) that contains an equation solver.

Pfdymath. Htc Polymath software includes an ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver, a nonlinear equation solver, and nonlinear r tession. As with previous editions. Polymath is used to explore the example problems and to solve the home problems. Polymath tutorials with screen shots are given on the DVD-ROM Summary Notes in Chapter 1 and can also be accessed from the Home Page by going to Living Example Problems and then clicking on Polymath. Most chemical engineering departments in the United States have site licenses for Polymath. If your department does not have a site license and would like one, have your instructor e-mail the CACHE Corporation at cache uts.cc.utexas.edu to learn how to obtain one. 

These formulas are useful in illustrating how the reaction engineering integrals and coupled DDEs (ordinary differential equation(s)) can be solved and also when there is an ODE solver power failure or some other malfunction. 

The sensitivities also can be described as the solution to a set of differ-entJ.al equations these equations are derived in Appendix A. This fact allows us to solve the model and sensitmty equations simultaneously with an ODE solver, rather than use hnite difference formulas to obtain the sensitivities. Bard provides a readable account for further study on these issues 12. Caracotsios, Stewart and Sorenson developed this approach and produced an influential software code (GREG) for parameter estimation problems in chemical reaction engineering [6, 29, 7].
