Development of Tubular Chemical Reactor Models for Control Purposes
نویسنده
چکیده
A generalized nonlinear mathematical model for fixed-bed tubular chemical reactors with cooling is proposed. The model is suitable for simulation experiments. A strategy, focused on simplifying and adapting the "primary" model to control applications is shown. This procedure is driven through the so-called "pseudohomogeneous" form of the model until a final description which is linear and relatively simple. The resulting model is offered as a good basis for optimal control design. Some simulation events are included.

In this paper, optimization and control of a tubular reactor for thermal bulk post-polymerization of styrene have been investigated. By using the reactor mathematical model, static and dynamic simulations are carried out. Based on an objective function including polymer conversion and polydispersity, reactor optimal temperature profile has been obtained. In the absence of model mismatch, de...
متن کاملSimulation of Steady-state and Dynamic Behaviour of a Tubular Chemical Reactor
Tubular chemical reactor are units frequently used in chemical and biochemical industry. From the system theory point of view, tubular chemical reactors belong to a class of nonlinear distributed parameter systems. Their mathematical models are described by sets of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDR). The methods of modelling and simulation of such processes are described eg. in (Luy...
متن کاملDesign of the Reactor, Selection of Catalyst for Ortho to Para Hydrogen Conversion and Preliminary Design of Cryogenic System for its Liquefaction
Hydrogen is an unusual substance in that its molecule exists in two forms, known as ortho and para, with markedly different properties. Energy level of the ortho molecule is higher than para, therefore, the latter is employed for industrial purposes. Consequently, for a high conversion of ortho to para hydrogen a catalyst reactor must be employed. Therefore, one of the main obj...

In present paper, dynamic behavior and control of a fluidized bed reactor for polyethylene production has been considered. A double active sites model for Ziegler-Natta catalysts is used for simulation of polymerization reaction. Hydrodynamic behavior of the bed is modeled using a two phase model including bubble and emulsion phases in which bubble phase has plug flow pattern with different...
