PROMOT: A Modeling Tool for Chemical Processes

Abstract

The novel process modeling tool PROMOTsupports the object-oriented modeling of chemical processes for the simulation environment DIVA. In PROMOT, differential-algebraic process models can be built by aggregating structural and behavioral modeling entities that represent the topological structure or the dynamic and steady-state behavior, respectively, of the investigated chemical processes. Process models and their modeling entities may be defined either in an object-oriented modeling language or with a graphical user interface. This paper discusses the modeling concept, the modeling language, the knowledge representation aspects, and the implementation of PROMOT.

Nonlinear Model Reduction of a Two‐Dimensional MCFC Model with Internal Reforming

“…The model is implemented in the process modelling tool ProMoT [13]. A finite volume method is used for the spatial discretization of the partial differential equations.…”

Development and Nonlinear Analysis of Dynamic Plant Models in ProMoT /Diana

“…ProMoT is a modeling tool written in Common Lisp with a graphical user interface written in Java [7,8]. ProMoT supports the structured implementation of dynamic models described by systems of nonlinear implicit differential algebraic equations of the form B x; u; p; t dx dt f x; u; p; t y h x; u; p; t ;…”

Modeling of Membrane Reactors

“…The approach of the process modeling tool ProMoT (Tr ä nkle et al , 2000 ) presented in this subsection is different: instead of solving a given model, ProMoT aims at supporting the model development process. The numerical solution of the models generated by ProMoT is done in other tools like DIVA (K ö hler et al , 2001 ), MATLAB, or DIANA (Krasnyk et al , 2006 ).…”
