چکیده
Comparisons are made between the finite difference method (FDM) and the control volume formulation (CVF). An analysis of truncation errors for the two methods is presented. Some rules-of-thumb related to the accuracy of the methods are included. It is shown that the truncation error is the same for both methods when the boundary conditions are of the Dirichlet type, the system equations are linear and represented in Cartesian coordinates. A technique to analyze the accuracy of the methods is presented. Two examples representing different physical situations are solved using the methods. The FDM failed to conserve mass for a small number of nodes when both boundary conditions include a derivative term (i.e. either a Robin or Neumann type boundary condition) whereas the CVF method did conserve mass for these cases. The FDM is more accurate than the CVF for problems with interfaces between adjacent regions. The CVF is (DX) order of accuracy for a Neumann type boundary condition whereas the FDM is (DX) order. © 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

In several process plants the precision of parameter estimates is low because the installed set of instruments do not satisfy the new information requirements for different purposes, from simple data reconciliation to on-line optimization. This paper presents models to perform the upgrading of instrumentation at minimum cost to achieve maximum precision of selected parameters. Alternative equiv...

In this paper, an extension of previous work performed for a system of two plants is presented. For a set of n plants, heat transfer leading effectively to energy savings occurs at temperature levels between the pinch points of supplying and receiving plants. In some cases, additional heat transfer in other regions is required to attain maximum savings. A systematic procedure, based on LP and M...
متن کاملRobust identification and control of batch processes
An approach is proposed for the robust identification and control of batch and semibatch processes. The batch experiments used for model identification are designed by minimizing the magnitude of the parameter uncertainties, and the effect of these uncertainties on the product quality achievable by optimal control is used as a stopping criterion for the identification procedure. The optimal con...
