Process simulation—steady state drawing

They simulate the steady-state operation of the process and can be used to draw-up the process flow sheet, and to size individual items of equipment, such as distillation columns. [Pg.169]

Bubble instability is one of the complications of this process. Only recently did this matter receive theoretical attention. As pointed out by Jung and Hyun (28), there are three characteristic bubble instabilities axisymmetric draw resonance, helical instability, and metastability where the bubble alternates between steady states, and the freeze line moves from one position to another. Using linear stability analysis, Cain and Denn (62) showed that multiple steady state solutions are possible for the same set of conditions, as pointed out earlier. However, in order to study the dynamic or time-dependent changes of the process, transient solutions are needed. This was recently achieved by Hyun et al. (65), who succeeded in quite accurately simulating the experimentally observed draw resonance (28). [Pg.841]

As in the steady-state simulation of continuous processes, it is convenient to convert from a process flowsheet to a simulation flowsheet. To accomplish this, it is helpful to be familiar with the library of models (or procedures) and operations provided by the simulator. For example, when using SUPERPRO DESIGNER to simulate two fermentation reactors in series, the process flowsheet in Figure 4.25a is replaced by the simulation flowsheet in Figure 4.25b. In BATCH PLUS, however, this conversion is accomplished without drawing the simulation flowsheet, since the latter is generated automatically on the basis of the recipe specifications for each equipment item. [Pg.145]

In this chapter, a suitable entrainer for this acetic acid dehydration system will be selected from several candidate acetates. Steady-state tray-by-tray column simulation will be used to determine the best entrainer with minimum total annual cost (TAC). Optimum process design and operating conditions will be determined to keep a high-purity bottom acetic acid composition and also to keep a small acetic acid loss in top aqueous draw. The overall control strategy of this column system will also be proposed to hold both bottom and top product specifications in spite of feed rate and feed composition disturbances. In the control study, conventional control strategy using only tray tempaature measurements will be considered so that the result of this study can easily be used directly in industry. [Pg.245]
