Chapter 2. Fundamental Models
In this chapter, a methodology for developing dynamic models of chemical processes is presented. After studying this chapter, the reader should be able to do the following:
Write balance equations using the integral or instantaneous methods
Incorporate appropriate constitutive relationships into the equations
Determine the state, input, and output variables and the parameters for a particular model (set of equations)
Determine the necessary information to solve a system of dynamic equations
Linearize a set of nonlinear equations to find the state space model
The major sections of this chapter are as follows:
2.1 Background
2.2 Balance Equations
2.3 Material Balances
2.4 Constitutive Relationships
2.5 Material and Energy ...
