Authors: Magne Hillestad and Terje Hertzberg,Affiliation: NTNU, Department of Chemical Engineering
Reference: 1986, Vol 7, No 3, pp. 107-127.
Keywords: Modular integration, sequential, coordinational algorithm, prediction of tear variables, interpolation, multirate
Abstract: An algorithm for dynamic simulation of chemical engineering systems, using the sequential modular approach, is proposed. The modules are independent simulators, and are integrated over a common time horizon. Interpolation polynomials are used to approximate input variables. These input polynomials are updated before modules are intergrated in order to interpolate output from preceding module(s) and thereby increase coupling and stabilize the computation. Tear stream variables have to be predicted at future time tn+1 and various prediction methods are proposed.
