CTS-9526052 Lakshmi Sridhar University of Puerto Rico ABSTRACT The research will focus on developing a rate-based model for non-equilibrium separations that will handle multiple liquid phases. The primary motivation stems form the advantages of employing non-equilibrium models for nonideal distillation, and the need for incorporating stability checks for heterogeneous mixtures. Stability will be determined using tangent plane criterion. Rate-based separation calculations will employ rigorously obtained mass transfer coefficients. The new model will not assume equilibrium between phases and therefore represents real situations better than the ideal equilibrium-stage model. The results may enable commercial process simulators to solve separation problems involving heterogeneous mixtures like ethanol, benzene and water. In particular, there is potential for significant impact on the design and optimization of distillation columns.

摘要本研究将重点开发一种基于速率的非平衡分离模型，该模型将处理多个液相。主要动机源于采用非平衡模型进行非理想蒸馏的优点，以及对非均质混合物进行稳定性检查的需要。稳定性将采用切平面判据确定。基于速率的分离计算将采用严格获得的传质系数。新模型将不假设阶段之间的平衡，因此比理想的均衡阶段模型更能代表实际情况。该结果可能使商业过程模拟器能够解决涉及乙醇、苯和水等异质混合物的分离问题。特别是，对精馏塔的设计和优化有潜在的重大影响。
