What to do if many side reactions occur in Aspen simulation reactions? This is a side reaction in the synthesis of vinyl acetate via the acetylene method; do I need to simulate all 12 of them? What to do if the dynamic equation cannot be found?
You should have some pilot experiment data, right? Simply input the selective experimental data on the reaction conversion rate using the Rstoic module
The results of such simulations aren’t accurate, right? If accuracy is desired, isn’t it still necessary to consult literature to find the dynamic equations?
It depends on your simulation purpose: if it is for conceptual design, it is more than sufficient； If engineering design is involved, industrial single-tube tests can be conducted; after collecting the data, it can be entered into software ； If one wants to predict reactor performance and reaction behavior, then kinetic equations are needed.
