    Notes: Identification of low-order linear multiinput/multiouput models can lead to accurate descriptions of the dynamic behavior of a continuous crystallization process. While open-loop experiments exhibit an oscillating crystal size distribution, improved experimental conditions can be established through stabilization of the process with a simple single-loop feedback controller. The resulting closed-loop identification problem is studied using low-order linear multivariable input-output models. Two closed-loop identification methods are applied, one of which was recently introduced to provide accurate approximate models in general closed-loop process configurations. Identification and validation data are obtained from an evaporative pilot crystallizer, and the identified models are validated in terms of time- and frequency-domain responses. A fourth-order, three-input three-output model is shown to describe accurately the process dynamics. The results are compared with a linearized and reduced first-principles model.

    Design of robust nonsquare constrained model-predictive control (1996)

    Notes: A model-predictive control (MPC) design methodology for processes with more manipulated inputs than outputs is developed. Essential features of the proposed approach are the following: the on-line optimization minimizes an objective function based on the l2 norm; an end-condition equation is utilized; model uncertainty is considered as upper and lower bounds on the pulse-response-model coefficients; hard constraints on the input and move-size variables and soft constraints on the output variables are posed. A major difference between square and nonsquare MPC is that in the former the end-condition can be used directly, while in the latter a nonlinear programming problem needs to be solved during the design phase to select values for the input move suppression coefficients. This technique is illustrated through a number of simulations and application to a real industrial process.

    Gas holdup in bubble column reactors operating in the churn-turbulent flow regime (1996)

    Notes: A comprehensive experimental study of gas holdup in bubble columns of varying diameters, fitted with different distributor types, using several liquids is presented. Air was used as the gas phase. Experiments to test the influence of gas density were also carried out with He, Ar, and SF6. A generalization of the two-phase model for gas-solid fluidized beds was used to interpret the experimental data where the “dilute” phase is identified with the “large” bubble population and the “dense” phase with the liquid phase where the “small” bubble population is entrained. Gas holdups in dilute and dense phases were determined from dynamic gas disengagement experiments.In the churn-turbulent regime of operation, voidage of the gas in the dense phase was independent of the superficial gas velocity. Reilly et al.'s correlations for the gas holdup and superficial gas velocity at the regime transition point estimate the gas voidage of the dense phase and the superficial gas velocity well through this phase. Corresponding correlations of Wilkinson et al. significantly underpredict dense-phase parameters. The experiment showed that the dilute phase or large bubble holdup in bubble columns, operating at superficial gas velocities 〉 0.1 m/s, is independent of liquid properties, how the gas is distributed and the density of the gas phase. But it is affected significantly by the column diameter. Relying on hydrodynamic analogies with a gas-solid-fluid bed, a simple correlation was developed that is considerably more accurate than the Wilkinson correlation that significantly overpredicts large bubble holdup.

    Notes: Complex hydrodynamic behavior of circulating fluidized beds makes their scale-up very complicated. In particular, large-scale lateral solids segregation causes a complex two-phase flow pattern which influences significantly their performance. Lateral solids segregation has been attributed to direct collisional interactions between particles as well as to interaction between gas-phase eddies and dispersed particles. However, these phenomena have not been investigated thoroughly.This article discusses an advanced 2-D hydrodynamic model developed for circulating fluidized beds based on the two-fluid concept. Because theory to model the interaction between gas-phase eddies and dispersed particles is not available, turbulence was modeled on a macroscopic scale using a modified Prandtl mixing length model. To model the influence of direct particle-particle collisions the kinetic theory for granular flow was applied based on the Chapman-Enskog theory of dense gases. For model validation purposes, a cold flow circulating fluidized bed was employed in which sand was transported with air as fluidizing agent. The column is equipped with pressure transducers to measure the axial pressure profile and with a reflective optical fiber probe to measure the local solids concentration and axial solids velocity. Theoretically calculated solids concentration and axial solids velocity agree satisfactorily with experiment, especially when one realizes that the model contains no adjustable parameters. In general, however, the model slightly underpredicted the experimentally observed lateral solids segregation and yielded a more peaked velocity profile compared to its experimental counterpart.

    Electrostatic effect on the flow behavior of a dilute gas/cohesive particle flow system (1996)

    Notes: Cohesive (Group C) particles have been widely used in various industries. To handle and process such fine particles, a clear understanding of the flow behavior and interparticle force, is needed. To achieve that objective, a Laser Doppler Anemometer system was used to measure particle velocity, fluctuating velocity, and size and extent of agglomeration or cluster formation of particles in a dilute gas/fine oil shale particle flow system with particle density of 2,082 kg/m3, average particle volumetric concentration of 1.5%, and average particle mass flux of about 100 kg/m2·s in a controlled-moisture environment. The flow behavior of the particles was also studied for a mixture of 99% shale particles and 1% antistatic agent (Larostat powder, a quaternary ammonium compound) to examine the role of electrostatic force in gas/cohesive particle flow behavior. The addition of Larostat powder significantly reduced the electrostatic force and, in turn, made Group C particles behave similar to Group A or in some cases to Group B particles. In addition, our experimental data showed that the Maxwellian distribution function is a reasonable assumption to describe the velocity probability density function of the shale particles with or without antistatic agents.

    Notes: Flow visualization of flowing particles around a tube of various types of tube arrangements in a moving bed was studied using X-ray video films to obtain a relation between particles behavior and local heat-transfer coefficients. A stagnant part of solid particles was observed on the tube in the case of a staggered arrangement. This part did not appear in the case of the single tube and the single row of tubes. The measured local heat-transfer coefficients around a tube was decreased in this stagnant part. Furthermore, influences of different tube arrangements both on flow patterns of particles and on local heat-transfer coefficients between tubes and bed were examined.

    Notes: A method for generating theoretical breakage distribution functions for multiple particle breakage is presented. It starts with the joint probability function that accounts for all the child particles; it is then reduced to the marginal probability function commonly used in the breakage equation. This method is flexible enough to allow the user to choose the number of child particles and the functional form to be used. The method is demonstrated with both product and summation functions with a power-law form. To facilitate the use of these theoretical functions for statistical analyses, a companion discretized breakage equation is developed. The new equation guarantees the conservation of mass and correct prediction of the total number of particles despite discretization. It is easy to use because it is a set of ordinary differential equations and applicable to both equal-size and geometric-size intervals. Simulation results show that different breakage distribution functions coupled with different breakage rates can produce almost indistinguishable particle-size distributions, signifying the need for further work in this area.

    Notes: A mathematical model has been developed that predicts the effects of design parameters, operating variables and physical properties on the performance of a membrane reactor with a permeselective wall. The model consists of the full set of partial differential equations that describe the conservation of mass, momentum and chemical species, coupled with chemical kinetics and appropriate boundary conditions for the physical problem. The solution of this system is obtained by a finite-volume technique. The model was applied to study the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane. Two membrane types in tubular form were studied: a selective porous glass with low gas permeabilities and a porous alumina with very high gas permeabilities. It is concluded that gas separation and reactor performance are strongly influenced by dispersion effects only in the latter membrane reactor, while in both cases radial concentration profiles do not correspond to those obtained with plug flow. Therefore, simulations of this type of problem should be based on complex dispersion models rather than the existing ideal plug-flow ones.

    Notes: A new approach for the determination of concentrations in the case of nonequilibrium washing stages is presented. Each washing stage is assumed to consist of series of mixing cells, and the conservation of solute mass is solved by Laplace transformation. The simplicity of the resulting equations makes this approach more practical than the existing one.

    Notes: The graphical construction called an energy-utilization diagram (EUD) is adopted for analyses of energy transformation and exergy losses in a distillation column. The overall exergy loss on one plate of a column can be decomposed into six kinds of exergy losses and are represented graphically. Two of them are caused by mixing and cooling in the vapor phase, and the other two by mixing and heating in the liquid phase. To display the remaining two yielded by condensation and evaporation of each component, the concept of the individual energy level is applied. The relationship between the individual energy level and the xy diagram is presented as well as effects of the reflux ratio and the feed location on the EUD for the whole column. Separation of n-hexane and n-octane is used to illustrate the methodology.
