How to simulate MTP reactions using Aspen?
Thread Content
This post was last edited by jordan569 on 2013-1-6 20:36. When using Aspen to simulate the reaction in an MTP reactor, I’m unable to proceed with the simulation because I don’t know the detailed composition of the products nor their specific yields (the information available is too general). Could anyone help me out? Also, how many cycle processes are there in total? What is the flow rate of each component during each cycle? I am extremely grateful. Note: # ) # # , .
Reactor simulation requires an MTP kinetic model, and few such models are available in the literature currently. The dynamic model of Danes at 2010 IECR can be used as a reference. However, upstairs, simulating this is quite challenging; being able to do it means you have mastered the core technology of MTP reactors.
Reply to 2# artwwz1985: Thank you! We are working on the design of an MTP, but there are far too few available parameters. The only data we can refer to are some information from Luqi and Datang, yet detailed data is still not available; we’re struggling with this issue. There are several major issues at present: 1. The circulation rate of the DME reactor ； 2. Ratio of the MTP feed stream ； 3. Detailed components and proportions of MTP output ； Do you have any good suggestions? Thank you
It seems that things are stuck at this point; there’s really too little data regarding the reactor simulation – only information on product distribution and conversion rates is available, which is not enough to carry out any simulation at all
Do you have that article on the Danish dynamics model? Could you send it to me? I am extremely grateful. Thank you *[aolou_123@163.com]~*aolou_123@163.com*
