PROCESS MODELLING AND SIMULATION


(Chemical Engineering)

Time: 3hours Max. Marks:60

Answer any FIVE questions


All questions carry equal marks
---

1. The liquid in a jacketed, non isothermal CSTR is stirred by an


agitator whose mass is significant compared with the reaction mass.
The mass of the reactor wall and the mass of the jacket wall are also
significant. Write the energy equations for the system. Neglect radial
temperature gradients in the agitator, reactor wall, and jacket wall.

2. Derive the mathematical model equations for an ideal binary


distillation column.

3. Discuss about classification of mathematical modeling based on


a) State of the process
b) Type of the process

4. Describe in detail back-propagation algorithm and mention any


two applications of artificial neural networks.

5.a) Simulate the series of open loop three isothermal CSTRs


using Euler method.
b) Simulate the series of closed loop three isothermal CSTRs
using Euler method.

6. A tubular chemical reactor of length L and cross section 1 m2 is


employed to carry out a first order chemical reaction in which a
material A is converted to a product B. The chemical reaction can be
represented as A → B and the specific reaction rate constant is k
sec-1. The feed rate is u m3 /sec, the feed concentration of A is C0,
and the diffusivity of A is assumed to be D m2 /sec2. Assume that
there is no volume change during the reaction and steady state
conditions are established. Develop a mathematical model in the
form of a differential equation for the concentration of A as a
function of length along the reactor and discuss the boundary
conditions.
