Thermal Separation: An Approach for a Modelica Library for Absorption, Adsorption and Rectification
Andreas A. B. Joos, Karin Dietl, Gerhard Schmitz · Linköping electronic conference proceedings · 2009
Due to its objected-oriented design Modelica is predestinated to describe chemical engineering unit operations.Still only few activity on this field is published.This paper introduces a library which covers three of four major thermal seperation processes: absorption, adsorption and rectification.Additionally an extension of the ExternalMedia library is presented that allows the connection to thermodynamic and physical property packages for two phase mixtures.Also a possible forecast to an implementation of a CAPE-OPEN interface is made, allowing the use of a plurality of established chemical data packages.
