Modelling of a Chemical Reactor for Simulation of a Methanisation Plant

The chemical and physical modelling and transient simulation of a plant with chemical reactors can be useful within dimensioning, optimisation, operation studies and analysing of time critical processes. Therefore, a reactor model for thermodynamic equilibrium conditions has been implemented. The Model is based on the free Modelica Fluid library and contains correlations for heat and mass transfer and pressure drop. The model contains the components: H2, CO, CO2, H2O, CH4, N2
