Development of a Simulation and Analysis Tool for Chemical Reactors
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
A reactor analysis and simulation tool (ASchem) for the design and performance analysis of batch, continuous stirred-tank and plug-flow reactors has been developed. The simulation tool is robust, allows for choice of reaction kinetics in liquid phase and has simplified graphical user interfaces. The tool also has unit converter, calculator, interpolator, graphical and tabular data output. The design and model equations of these reactors were encoded in a JAVA program. Results from the simulation tool were compared with those obtained from the simulation of the same model equations using MATLAB (2009b) with literature data. The deviations obtained were minimal with an average precision of 0.0258%, 0.0061% and 1.1923% for the batch, plug-flow and continuous stirred tank reactors respectively.
