Models rate model

The main conclusion to be drawn from these studies is that for most practical purposes the linear rate model provides an adequate approximation and the use of the more cumbersome and computationally time consuming diffusing models is generally not necessary. The Glueckauf approximation provides the required estimate of the effective mass transfer coefficient for a diffusion controlled system. More detailed analysis shows that when more than one mass transfer resistance is significant the overall rate coefficient may be estimated simply from the sum of the resistances (7) ... 

Ryan et al. [Chem. Eng. Progr, 90(8X 83 (1994)] showthat separate mass and heat transfer-rate modeling of an HCl absorber predicts 2 percent fog in the vapor. The impact is equivalent to lowering the stage efficiency to 20 percent.

Important exceptions to McCabes gro th-rate model have been noted by Bramson, by Randolph, and by Abegg. These are discussed by Canning and Randolph, Am. Inst. Chem. Ting. J., 13, 5 (1967). 

The second classification is the physical model. Examples are the rigorous modiiles found in chemical-process simulators. In sequential modular simulators, distillation and kinetic reactors are two important examples. Compared to relational models, physical models purport to represent the ac tual material, energy, equilibrium, and rate processes present in the unit. They rarely, however, include any equipment constraints as part of the model. Despite their complexity, adjustable parameters oearing some relation to theoiy (e.g., tray efficiency) are required such that the output is properly related to the input and specifications. These modds provide more accurate predictions of output based on input and specifications. However, the interactions between the model parameters and database parameters compromise the relationships between input and output. The nonlinearities of equipment performance are not included and, consequently, significant extrapolations result in large errors. Despite their greater complexity, they should be considered to be approximate as well. 

No industrial process enjoys a knowledge of mechanism and kinetics so complete that models can be compared to it. Aris (1975) and Cropley (1978) simulated experimental results using a rate model. From the data a new model was derived and compared with the original. 

Although experimental results could be fitted well with irreversible rate models, ignoring thermodynamic facts could be disastrous. Although reversibility moderated the maximum temperature at runaway, it was not the most important qualitative result. In fact, the one dimensional (directional, or irreversible, correctly) model was not realistic at these conditions. For the prediction of incipient runaway and the AT ax permissible before runaway, the reversibility was obviously important. 

Several methods are used to fit rate models, the two most common of which often give erroneous results. The first is the transformation of a proposed rate model to achieve a model form that is linear in the parameters. An example is the nonlinear model ... 

For two-phase flow through pipes, an overall dimensionless dis-eharge eoeffieient, /, is applied. Equation 12-11 is referred to as the equilibrium rate model (ERM) for low-quality ehoked flow. Leung [28] indieated that Equation 12-11 be multiplied by a faetor of 0.9 to bring the value in line with the elassie homogeneous equilibrium model (HEM). Equation 12-11 then beeomes... 

The method includes the mass unit vent flow capacity per unit area. G. This allows using any applicable vent capacity calculation method. The method incorporates the equilibrium rate model (ERM) for vent flow capacity when friction is negligible. Additionally, a coiTection factor is used for longer vent lines of constant diameter and with negligible static head change. ...

Figure 3.7 shows the growth of R. rubrum in a batch fermentation process using a gaseous carbon source (CO). The data shown follow the logistic model as fitted by (3.14.2.11) with the solid lines, which also represent an unstructured rate model without any lag phase. The software Sigma Plot was used to fit model (3.14.2.11) to the experimental data. An increase in concentration of acetate in the prepared culture media did not improve the cell dry weight at values of 2.5 and 3 gT-1 acetate, as shown in Figure 3.7. However, the exponential growth rates were clearly observed with acetate concentrations of 0.5-2 g-F1 hi the culture media.

Table 3.1 shows the kinetic parameters for cell growth, rate models with or without inhibition and mass transfer coefficient calculation at various acetate concentrations in the culture media. The Monod constant value, KM, in the liquid phase depends on some parameters such as temperature, initial concentration of the carbon source, presence of trace metals, vitamin B solution, light intensity and agitation speeds. The initial acetate concentrations in the liquid phase reflected the value of the Monod constants, Kp and Kp. The average value for maximum specific growth rate (/xm) was 0.01 h. The value...
