A new approach to modeling and simulation of mass transfer processes in industrial column apparatuses

Abstract

In the paper is presented a theoretical analysis of the role of the reaction kinetics in chemical engineering for the solution of the main problems in the chemical industry (biotechnology, heat energy), i.e. the optimal design of new devices and the optimal control of active processes. The thermodynamic and hydrodynamic approximations for the modeling of the industrial process rates are presented and analyzed. The linear and non-linear theories are examined. A new approach to modeling and simulating of mass transfer processes in industrial column apparatuses is proposed. This approach is used for the modeling of chemical, absorption, adsorption and catalytic processes in industrial column apparatuses.
