  1. Click here to continue ForK TutorialExercise 2 Creating new simulation project to estimate explosion hazard Aim: Determination of critical conditions of thermal explosion for a storage tank (drum) containing 80% solution of cumene hydroperoxide in cumene (well stirred assumption) Drum: Cylinder with R=0.2 m, H=0.8 m, V=0.1 m3(100 l), S=1.26 m2; void volume VV=0.01 m3(10 l), phi=1.01 (contribution of mass heat capacity of the container is small) Product properties: =0.8 g/cm3. Cp=2 J/g/K, sample mass = 80 kg, initial temperature – 20 oC, phi=1.01 Heat exchange: General mode, U=10 W/m2/K;Tenv=50oC Run Scoring

Click here to continue ForK TutorialExercise 2 Creating new simulation project to estimate explosion hazard Kinetics: Complex reaction with 2 stages in parallel:(1) A  B – N-order initiation reaction; stage rate – r1(2) A+B  2B – autocatalytic stage; stagerate - r2 Math model: (1): lnK01=20.4; n11=2; E1=102 kJ/mol; Q1=800 J/g (2)lnK02=23; n21=4; n22=3;E2=96 kJ/mol; Q2=1800 J/g

  3. Select Simulation mode

  4. Preliminary adjustment: setting appropriate units

  5. Defining the drum model Step 1. Defining general data Data that are to be assigned: 1. Response to be simulated (heat production) .01 1.01 72 2. Mass of a reagent and initial T 3. Void volume and pad gas data (in our case Pgo and Tgo are optional) 4. Mass specific heat and phi-factor

  6. General data are ready

  7. Defining the drum model Step 2. Defining Heat exchange mode Data that are to be assigned: 1. Heat exchange mode - General 1.26 2. Неat exchange Surface 3. Неat transfer coefficient 4. Environment temperature(on the “Env. Temperqature” tab)

  9. Defining the drum model Step 3. Defining kinetic model Data that should be assigned: 1. Model structure 2. “Elementary” models for stages 3. Kinetic parameters Creating model of two stages in parallel(the model of fullautocatalysis) Stage 1 – of N-order type Stage 2 - Proto

  10. Data that should be assigned: 1. Model structure 2. “Elementary” models for stages 3. Kinetic parameters 1. Creating model of two stages in parallel (the model of full autocatalysis) Stage 1 – of N-order type Stage 2 - Proto

  11. Data that should be assigned: 1. Model structure 2. “Elementary” models for stages 3. Kinetic parameters 1. Creating model of two stages in parallel (the model of full autocatalysis) Stage 1 – of N-order type Stage 2 - Proto

  12. Data that should be assigned: 1. Model structure 2. “Elementary” models for stages 3. Kinetic parameters 1. Creating model of two stages in parallel (the model of full autocatalysis) Stage 1 – of N-order type Stage 2 - Proto

  13. Model created with the kinetic parameters for the second stage defined Data that should be assigned: 1. Model structure 2. “Elementary” models for stages 3. Kinetic parameters

  14. Kinetic parameters for the first stage have been defined Data that should be assigned: 1. Model structure 2. “Elementary” models for stages 3. Kinetic parameters

  15. Evaluating critical parameters of thermal explosion by using the “Effect of controls” option 1. Adjusting time interval for simulation

  16. Note that max temperature rise (overheat) at initial environment T=60 C is very small. Next step is to elevate env. temperature

  17. At Tenv=75 C overheat becomes much bigger. Continue to elevate Tenv till reaching explosion

  18. There is pronounced thermal explosion at Tenv~77.5 C. More precise value can be obtained by varying Tenv with smaller step

  19. Simulation of thermal explosion in the drum

  20. Add simulated responses to be saved within the project

  21. The 2st Exercise is over. Press [Esc] to close presentation. If you have ForK installed we recommend to repeat this exercise by yourself. Now the complete project can be saved into a data volume for further use
