Authors: T. Dahl, A. Hashemi-Ahmady and Bernt Lie,Affiliation: Statoil and Telemark University College

Keywords: Process dynamics, phase equilibrium, process simulation, numerical methods
Abstract: The article reports an investigation on how to efficiently describe phase equilibrium in dynamic systems, and how to solve the resulting equations numerically. An overview of possible solution strategies is given. Different thermodynamic models are briefly reviewed, and important algorithms like PT flash are described. A flash tank with a mixture of propane and propylene is simulated to illustrate some different solution strategies.
