Developing targets for the performance index of a chemical reactor network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The target approach to reactor synthesis tries to determine an upper bound for the performance of a chemical reactor network as measured by its objective function (such as yield or reactor volume). This leads to an optimal control formulation in which the residence time distribution and the micromixing function are the control variables. The optimal control problem is solved using a gradient based algorithm that employs successive quadratic programing and adjoint variables. Examples are given to illustrate the approach taken.

A three-layer artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the remained DO (deoxygenation) in water after DO removal with an enzymatic granular biocatalyst (GB), based on the experimental data obtained in a laboratory stirring batch study. The effects of operational parameters such as initial pH, initial glucose concentration and temperature on DO removal were investigated. On...

In this paper, a batch hydrogenation reactor performance was modeled using a hydrodynamic and reaction sub-models. The reaction expressions were obtained from the information reported in literature. Experimental studies were conducted in order to generate the experimental data needed to validate the model. The comparison between the experimental data and model predictions seems quite satisfacto...
