| Title | An improved comaprtment pressure model |
| Description | The physical modelling tool, COM-K-MT, was output in 2020 to address the need for a generic modelling tool for chemical system compartment models. In current compartment modelling, each flow rate is a set value; with a potential 1000's of flows, this can be tedium to design and build. An issue addressed in the tool with a compartment sub-model named the 'Variable Volume' approach. I have since developed an improved solution, the 'relaxed density' approach. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | The former model imposed limits on the tool with regards to pressure modelling. And under the former model, one could not build process units consisting of multiple dispersions in the model space. The result of the change is a significant improvement in model generality and capability. |
| Title | COM-K-MT (Compartment modelling with reactive kinetics and mass transfer phenomenon) |
| Description | Chemical process compartment modelling packaged in a generic descriptive object structure; Build & simulate multi-compartment, multi phase compartment networks with a variety of flow connection options; including mechanisms for multi-phase mass transfer and multi-phase reaction. |
| Type Of Technology | Physical Model/Kit |
| Year Produced | 2020 |
| Impact | Used within the school of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Leeds in collaboration with peers, specifically on the modelling of Hydrogenation case studies; to allow the investigation into the mass transfer and rate coefficients accuracy obtained through experiment (in progress). |
