Overview • gO:CAPE-OPEN within the gPROMS v2.3 family • gO:CAPE-OPEN: why and how ? • Beyond the CAPE-OPEN mixer-splitter: • High-fidelity rate-based modelling of reactive absorption • Demonstration
gPROMS ModelBuilder gSERVER for 3rd party gPROMS-based applications gO:CAPE-OPEN gO:CFD gO:MATLAB gO:RUN gO:Simulink …consistent models, same engine across the product/process lifecycle gPROMS v2.3 family products
gO:CAPE-OPEN overview • Introduce advanced gPROMS models within CAPE-OPEN compliant steady-state flowsheeting packages e.g. • ASPEN PLUS™ • HYSYS™ • Consistent physical properties used throughout • No programming required • retain advantages of gPROMS-based modelling
gO:CAPE-OPEN+ gPROMS packaged model
Identification information • Port information • Exchangeable quantities The gCO file • input or output • obligatory or optional connectivity • gPROMS mathematical model • (encrypted) input file • auxiliary files • Integers, reals, booleans, enumerated types • Scalars, or arrays/distributions of fixed or variable length • Input, output, or input-output Self-contained XML file
Operation of gO:CAPE-OPEN • Expose CAPE-OPEN Unit Object interfaces to the host flowsheeting environment • Initialisation of simulation • parse gCO file • start gSERVER • load gPROMS model into gSERVER • perform model initialisation • Main computation loop • ask gPROMS model to perform unit object calculations whenever requested by host • Termination • save internal state
gO:CAPE-OPEN exampleHigh-fidelity rate-based modelling of absorption columns with fast reaction
Rate-based modelling is necessary for… • Accurate tracking of impurities • Prediction of departure from equilibrium caused by limited rates of mass and heat transfer • Prediction of reverse diffusion • Prediction of diffusion barriers • Prediction of interactions between diffusion and fast reactions • Prediction of effective reaction rates
Rate-based modelling is applicable to… • Reactive and non-reactive absorption • Reactive distillation • Condensation at the presence of non-condensibles • Evaporation • Liquid-liquid extraction • Multiphase reactors
