Dr. Julio G. Briano, from the Department of Chemical Engineering -UPRM, will be offering a lecture titled “Process Simulators in Chemical Engineering”.
Date: March 24, 2015
Time: 10:30 am – 11:00 am
Place: INQU 004 – Amphitheater
Abstract:
This presentation will cover an overview of the use of Process Simulation in Chemical Engineering. Through this talk, the participant will become familiar with: (1) the structure of modern simulators, (2) the models to characterize physical properties of conventional and unconventional (i.e. petroleum fractions, electrolyte systems, solids with psd, etc.) components, and (3) the modeling of units such as chemical reactors, separation columns, heat exchangers, etc..
In addition, we will discuss convergence problems due to recycling streams, optimization techniques and the way that Aspen Plus and Hysys deal with process dynamics and control.
The new Aspen Process Economic Analyzer (APEA) which is currently the most advanced program of this kind will be used to transform a simplified process into a realistic design.
