Acceleration Algorithms for Process Design Simulations
Arman, Anoushtakin (Oklahoma State University, 1986-12-01)Direct Substitution Methods for convergence in simulation software are often slow and time consuming. Convergence can be speeded up using an acceleration algorithm. Three acceleration algorithms were tested on MAXISIM, a ... -
Chemical Process Simulator with Plug Flow Reactor
Vedder,William Joseph, Jr. (Oklahoma State University, 1985-12-01)This study has focused upon developing a general-purpose Chemical Reaction Engineering Simulator. The ideal plug flow reactor was chosen as the basis for this work. -
Combustion Testing of a Pilot Scale Experimental Furnace
Ahmed, Sayed Naveed (Oklahoma State University, 1989-05-01)The primary purpose of this study was to test a pilot scale experimental furnace using natural gas or coal. The furnace was found to be operative for long periods of time using natural gas or coal. -
Computer Simulation of a Multicomponent, Multistage Batch Distillation Process
Baugher, Bruce Earl (Oklahoma State University, 1988-07-01)The material and energy balance equations for a batch distillation column were derived and a computer simulation was developed to solve these equations. The solution follows a modified Newton-Raphson approach for inverting ... -
Computer Simulation of a Multicomponent, Multistage Crude Distillation Process
Parker, Susan Leigh (Oklahoma State University, 1988-12-01)A computer program was created to solve the material and energy balance equations simultaneously for a crude distillation column. The model is designed to handle hypothetical hydrocarbon components, allowing for the ... -
Down*Hole, Phase I: a Computer Model for Predicting the Water Phase Corrosion Zone in Gas and Condensate Wells
Robertson, Carl Alan (Oklahoma State University, 1988-07-01)The DOWN*HOLE Production String Simulation Package is a user-friendly tool developed with the Corrosion Engineer in mind. The program is designed to determine the location of the water condensation zone in gas wells, and ... -
Experimental design and modeling of a continuous counterflow solid-solid heat transfer process
Chern, Shyh-Jye (1989-07) -
Hexsim: a Preliminary Shell and Tube and Air-cooled Heat Exchanger Design/rating Program
Bowersock, Billie Annette (Oklahoma State University, 1987-05-01)The HEXSIM simulator was debugged and modified to increase user friendliness. Then a user's manual and technical documentation were written. HEXSIM is capable of calculating size and configuration for both shell and tube ... -
Modelling and Scale-up of Industrial Catalytic Fluidized Bed Reactors
Lee, Hagyoung (Oklahoma State University, 1988-12-01)The fundamental problem involved in the design of a gas-solid catalytic reactor is defining the reactant gas concentration as a function of position within the reactor. For fluidized bed reactors, the problem becomes very ... -
Modelling and simulation of complex refinery distillations
Lopez, Edgardo A. (1991-12) -
On the use of time-dependent throughfall chemistry data to calculate the dry deposition flux
Chen, Yuh-Ling (1988-12) -
Optimum Feed Plate Location for Multi-component Distillation Separations
Chenbhanich, Amornvat (Oklahoma State University, 1986-07-01)The object of this thesis is to study the optimum feed plate location of a simple one-feed, two-product distillation column. The optimum feed plate location provides the reflux and boil up rates which lead to minimum duty ... -
Simulation of vapor-liquid equilibria in ionic systems
Friedemann, John Daniel (1987-12) -
Theoretical investigation on mixed convection inside horizontal tubes with nominally uniform heat flux
Zhang, Changlin (1990-12)
