Process Modelling Selection of Thermodynamic Methods

1.0

INTRODUCTION The selection of a suitable thermodynamic model for the prediction of the enthalpy-H and the phase equilibrium-K is fundamental to process modelling. An inappropriate model selection will resultin convergence problems and erroneous results. Simulations are only valid when the appropriate thermodynamic model is being used. The selection process is based on a detailed knowledge of thermodynamics and practical experience. Most simulators are provided with Wizards to aid selection which should be used with caution. The selection process is guided by considering the following:Process...
