AN EQUATION ORIENTED APPROACH TO STEADY STATE FLOWSHEETING OF METHANOL SYNTHESIS LOOP
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
An equation-oriented approach was developed for steady state flowsheeting of a commercial methanol plant. The loop consists of fixed bed reactor, flash separator, preheater, coolers, and compressor. For steady sate flowsheeting of the plant mathematical model of reactor and other units are needed. Reactor used in loop is a Lurgi type and its configuration is rather complex. Previously reactor and flash separator are modeled as two important units of plant. The model is based on mass and energy balances in each equipment and utilizing some auxiliary equations such as rate of reaction and thermodynamics model for activity coefficients of liquid. In order to validate the mathematical model for the synthesis loop, some simulation data were performed using operating conditions and characteristics of the commercial plant. The good agreement between the steady state simulation results and the plant data shows the validity of the model.

An analytical equation of state was applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon.The equation of state is that of Song and Mason. It is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbationtheory of the hard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. Thereexist three temperature-dependent parameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecularvo...

An analytical equation of state has been previously modified by Papari et al. for representing the volumetric properties of molecular fluids. However the performance of that EOS has not been yet well investigated for refrigerant fluids. This study extended that equation to 19 liquid refrigerants to predict their densities at isothermal and saturated states. Two temperature-independent parameter...
