Simulation programs

The model is predictive and uses a method of contributing groups to determine the parameters of interaction with water. It is generally used by simulation programs such as HYSIM or PR02. Nevertheless the accuracy of the model is limited and the average error is about 40%. Use the results with caution. 

Sufficiently accurate thermodynamic models used for calculating these equilibria are not available In simulation programs. It Is generally not recommended to use the models proposed. Only a specific study based on accurate experimental results and using a model adapted to the case will succeed. 

This completes the outline of FAMUSAMM. The algorithm has been implemented in the MD simulation program EGO VIII [48] in a sequential and a parallelized version the latter has been implemented and tested on a number of distributed memory parallel computers, e.g., IBM SP2, Cray T3E, Parsytec CC and ethernet-linked workstation clusters running PVM or MPI.

Computer simulation programs for process design optimization have been developed for the PUREX process utilizing these relationships (22). A subroutine has also been developed which describes the behavior of fission products (23). 

Given the first type of simulation, it is advantageous to be able to design a system of RO modules that can achieve the process objective at a minimal cost. A model has been iategrated iato a process simulation program to predict the stream matrix for a reverse osmosis process (132). In the area of waste minimization, the proper placement of RO modules is essential for achieving minimum waste at a minimum cost. Excellent details on how to create an optimal network of RO modules is available (96). 

One of the first complete, continuous simulation models was the pesticide mnoff transport model (PRT) (56). Improvements in the PRT modelled to the hydrologic simulation program—FORTRAN model (57). A number of other models have been developed (58,59). These models represent a compromise between the avadable data and the abiHty to encompass a wide range in soils, climates, and pesticides. These models have had mixed success when extended beyond the data with which they were caHbrated. No model has yet been developed that can be proven to give accurate predictions of... 

A process-simulation program almost always contains a physical property service, because the quaflty of process design ultimately depends on the way in which the laws of physics and chemistry are appfled to the problem. Accordingly, the quaflty of this service is an important consideration to the user of a flow-sheeting system. 

The designer usually wants to specify stream flow rates or parameters in the process, but these may not be directly accessible. For example, the desired separation may be known for a distiUation tower, but the simulation program requires the specification of the number of trays. It is left up to the designer to choose the number of trays that lead to the desired separation. In the example of the purge stream/ reactor impurity, a controller module may be used to adjust the purge rate to achieve the desired reactor impurity. This further complicates the iteration process. 

Flash-drum specifications in addition to (T9, T9) and (T9, adiabatic) are also possible but must be applied with care, as discussed by Michelsen [Comp. Chem. Engng., 17,431 (1993)]. Most computer-aided process design and simulation programs permit a wide variety of flash specifications.

Neither effect normally is accounted for in building simulation programs. Normally, for energy analysis, this is not critical, but it may have a significant effect on natural ventilation of multistory buildings.
