    BE - SEMESTER–VIII (NEW) EXAMINATION – WINTER 2018
    Subject Code: 2180503 Date: 29/11/2018
    Subject Name: Process Modeling, Simulation & Optimization
    Time: 02:30 PM TO 05:00 PM Total Marks: 70
    Instructions:
    1. Attempt all questions.
    2. Make suitable assumptions wherever necessary.
    3. Figures to the right indicate full marks.

    Q.1 (a) Describe in detail the principles of formulation of mathematical models. 03


    (b) Explain the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry with their applications 04
    to simple chemical systems.
    (c) Consider a batch reactor in which the following first-order consecutive reactions 07
    are carried out.
    k k
    A  1  B  2C

    Reactant A is charged into the vessel. Steam is fed into the jacket to bring the
    reaction mass up to a desired temperature. Then cooling water must be added to
    the jacket to remove the exothermic heat of reaction and to make the reactor
    temperature follow the prescribed temperature-time curve. This temperature
    profile is fed into the temperature controller as a set-point signal. Derive the
    temperature profiles for the process and metal wall for the batch reactor
    described above.

    Q.2 (a) Write the various equations of motion for process modeling. 03
    (b) List the various professional simulators and equation solver software. 04
    (c) Consider the vapourizer 07
    sketched in the figure.

    Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is fed into a pressurized tank to hold the liquid
    level in the tank. We will assume that LPG is a pure component: propane. The
    liquid in the tank is assumed perfectly mixed. Heat is added at a rate Q to hold
    the desired pressure in the tank by vapourizing the liquid at a rate Wv (mass per
    time). Heat losses and the mass of the tank walls are assumed negligible. Gas is
    drawn off the top of the tank at a volumetric flow rate Fv. Fv is the forcing
    function or load disturbance. Derive the model equations for the system for
    steady state model and liquid and vapour dynamics model.

    and bottom and 4 cm at each side. Find the overall dimensions that minimize the
    total area of the poster.
    (c) An irreversible, exothermic reaction A  k
     B is carried out in a single 07
    perfectly mixed CSTR as
    shown in figure.

    The reaction is nth-order in reactant A and has a heat of reaction 𝜆 (Btu/lbmol


    of A reacted). Negligible heat losses and constant densities are assumed. To
    remove the heat of reaction, a cooling jacket surrounds the reactor. Cooling
    water is added to the jacket at a volumetric flow rate FJ, and with an inlet
    temperature of TJo. The volume of water in the jacket VJ is constant. The mass
    of the metal walls is assumed negligible so the thermal inertia of the metal need
    not be considered. Derive the model equations with the assumption of a perfectly
    mixed cooling jacket.
