  1. Research Update Daniel Beneke LPPD Seminar 10/28/2009

  2. Layout • Semester Plan • Rectification Body Method • Uses and Limitations • Imaginary topology for real columns • Non-Ideal and Higher order systems

  3. Semester plan • Literature review of current separation system design (RBM & Topology) • Thermodynamics of processes • Assisting in Complex Column Design (CPM topology) • Identification and implementation of a Zeotropic distillation problem • Identification and implementation of an Azeotropic distillation problem

  4. Rectification Body Method Acetone/ Benzene/Chloroform 1 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 Benzene 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 Acetone

  6. Rectification Body MethodUses • No integration is required – only pinch equations • Quick tool to ESTIMATE minimum reflux • Useful for ESTIMATING product feasibility

  7. Rectification Body MethodLimitations • Major assumptions are linear faces of RBM’s • Accuracy of method decreases considerably with non-ideal mixtures • Estimated Mininum Reflux is inaccurate • Cannot be used as a feasibility test

  8. Topological analysis of CPMs • Pinch Points occur at F=0 • Lyapunov’s theorem is used to determine the nature of Pinch Points • Lyapunov’s theorem: Signs of the eigenvalues (λ) of Jacobian(F) determine nature of nodes

  9. Topological analysis of CPMs • λ1& λ2>0 → Unstable Node • λ1& λ2<0 → Stable Node • λ1>0 & λ2<0 → Saddle Point • Hybrid Nodes form when λ1,2=0 • λ1,2 =a±ib, and a>0 → Stable Focus • λ1,2 =a±ib, and a<0 → Unstable Focus • λ1,2 =a±ib, and a=0 → Midpoint
