gPROMS Training Course - Advanced Dynamic Process Modelling in gPROMS®
Audience
This two-day advanced training course aims to enable process engineers to construct robust and accurate models of transient process behaviour in gPROMS. Taking account of the most up-to-date understanding of process modelling, the course provides a unique insight into how complex processes may be modelled in a systematic way. It also covers in an intuitive and accessible manner, the background that is essential for making the best use of process modelling in gPROMS.
Content
The course covers the key areas of process modelling and the associated background. Many realistic process examples are used to illustrate the general issues being discussed.
- Modelling of lumped processes in terms of mixed systems of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs); discontinuities in process physics and their description
- Classification of DAE systems; why are some models more difficult to solve than others; the origin of high-index DAEs in process engineering models; techniques for index reduction
- Modelling of processes with chemical equilibrium; reaction invariants
- Modelling of processes with phase equilibrium, and combined phase and reaction equilibrium; modelling of phase appearance and disappearance
- Detailed modelling of distillation column dynamics
- Modelling of distributed processes in terms of mixed partial differential and algebraic equations (PDAEs); mass, energy and momentum dynamics; the choice of spatial discretisation method
- Modelling of multiphase distributed processes
- Modelling of distributed systems with moving boundaries
The course assumes a general background in engineering or physics, as well as a very basic understanding of mathematical modelling in terms of ordinary differential equations.
