The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

dc.description.abstractModeling and simulating distillation columns is not a new enterprise. All of the models described in the literature either contain algebraic loops or simplifying assumptions that render the model ill-equipped for dynamic simulations. The structure and the equations that represent a trayed distillation column are explored using bond graphs. Bond graphs model the power flow in a system, an inherently instructive way to view complex systems. The power of bond graphs is evident by providing a clear, graphical representation of a distillation column that systematically organizes the equations and possible approximations. The model of a distillation column is explored in general and then by using a specific model developed by Steven Gallun. Results of this study reveal several ways of eliminating the algebraic loops and producing a dynamic model. The bond graph model can be expanded by introducing other elements including chemical reactions and thermal interaction with other columns.
