The application of a time delay model to chemical engineering operations
thesis
posted on 2018-05-21, 15:39 authored by B.A. BuffhamMethods are developed for describing flow and transport
phenomena in chemical process equipment in terms of random time
delays that are undergone by material or energy elements in
passing through the process.
It is shown how these methods may be applied to typical
chemical engineering processes including exchange processes in
packed beds, distillation and multiple reactions in complex flow
regimes.
A new mixing concept, dynamic dispersion, is defined which may
be used to account, in a formal way, for the disparity that sometimes
exists between the behaviour of a process in the steady state and
predictions based on the axial dispersion concept.
