The Analogue Computer Simulation of Integrated Chemical Plant and Controller Systems

Abstract

A systematic approach to the generation of a simplified model is presented. The individual sections of the systematic approach: 1. Model Building. 2. Simulation. 3. Simplification. 4. Use are discussed in detail. A dynamic model of the catalytic tubular reactor for the dehydrogenation of iso-propanal to acetone is developed. This model was successfully simulated on an analogue computer. The results obtained from the analogue computer simulation were successfully analysed to produce a considerably simplified dynamic model of the reactor. At each stage in the systematic approach the theory, and practice as applied to the reactor model, is presented.
