Part 4 Nonlinear Programming 4.8 Examples
Example 1: Chemical Equilibrium From thermodynamics of chemical reaction equilibrium, the equilibrium state of a closed system at constant temperature and pressure is the state at which its total Gibbs free energy is at a minimum. This criterion can be used to obtain the equilibrium composition of a given mixture by minimizing its free energy w.r.t. its composition.
Given Data • An ideal gas mixture of 10 chemical species is maintained at T=298K and P=750Hg. • The 10 species are made of 3 atomic elements (e.g., H, O and C), and they are denoted as A, B and C. • The species formulas are:
Example 2 Data Reconciliation
Case 1: Flows of streams 1, 2, 5 and 6 are measured Case 1 is a redundant and observable system.
Case 2: Flows of streams 1 and 2 are measured Case 2 gives rise to a non-redundant observable system!
Case 3: Flows of streams 1 and 6 are measured Case 3 is a redundant unobservable system.
