As the complexity of a plant integrated with several process units increases, solving the model structure with a large equation set becomes a challenging task. To overcome this situation, various process flowsheet simulators are used. This book describes the simulation, optimization, dynamics and closed-loop control of a wide variety of chemical processes using the most popular commercial flowsheet simulator Aspen™.
The book presents the Aspen simulation of a large variety of chemical units, including flash drum, continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), plug flow reactor (PFR), petroleum refining column, heat exchanger, absorption tower, reactive distillation, distillation train, and monomer production unit. It also discusses the dynamics and control of flow-driven as well as pressure-driven chemical processes using the Aspen Dynamics package.
KEY FEATURES
? Acquaints the students with the simulation of large chemical plants with several single process units.
? Includes a large number of worked-out examples illustrated in step-by-step format for easy understanding of the concepts.
? Provides chapter-end problems for extensive practice.
This book is suitable for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering. It will also be helpful to research scientists and practising engineers.ISBN-- 9788120345683
