On the solution of population balance equations (PBE) with accurate front tracking methods in practical crystallization processes

TL;DR: WENO schemes for spatial discretization are firstly addressed in this study for the dynamic simulation of batch crystallization processes and are of practical use for solving complex PBEs owing to a short computational time and little limitation to use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Entrainer Selection Rules for the Separation of Azeotropic and Close-Boiling-Temperature Mixtures by Homogeneous Batch Distillation Process

TL;DR: In this article, a complete set of rules for the selection of a suitable entrainer enabling the separation of minimum and maximum boiling azeotropic binary mixtures and close-boiling-temperature bilinear mixtures is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermodynamic Insights on the Feasibility of Homogeneous Batch Extractive Distillation. 4. Azeotropic Mixtures with Intermediate Boiling Entrainer

TL;DR: In this article, the location of univolatility lines and residue curve analysis is used to assess the feasibility of extractive distillation of minimum-boiling (minT) or maximumboiling(maxT) azeotropic mixtures or low-relative volatility (low-α) mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI

General methodology for exergy balance in ProSimPlus® process simulator

TL;DR: In this paper, a general methodology for exergy balance in chemical and thermal processes integrated in ProSimPlus® as a well-adopted process simulator for energy efficiency analysis is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feasibility of heterogeneous batch distillation processes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the synthesis of heterogeneous batch distillation, which aims at splitting azeotropic mixtures by adding an entrainer partially miscible with one of the initial binary mixture components.
