THE USE OF MOBILE DEVICES IN PROCESS COMPUTATION Mordechai Shacham Ben Gurion University of the Negev Beer-Sheva Michael B. Cutlip University of Connecticut Storrs, CT Michael Elly Intel Corp., Qiryat Gat.

Presentation Outline Review of the process design and problem solving tools available for (chemical) engineers: 1965 – 1980 Manual calculations and mainframe based process simulators 1980 – 2015 PC based mathematical software packages 2015 - ? Mathematical software packages for mobile devices. 2. The advantages and disadvantages of mobile devices (smart phones, tablets etc.) for process computational use. 3. Simulation of a semi-batch reactor (exothermic reaction) to investigate possible outcome of the change of the operating conditions to prevent temperature runaway.

Chemical Engineer’s Problem Solution Techniques – 1965-85 Analytical solutions, including Model simplification by neglecting less important terms Model manipulation to bring it into a solvable form Short-cut solution techniques Replacing the problem with a simpler one that can be solved Graphical solutions Trial and error solution techniques Numerical solution, including Computer language programming, flow-sheeting programs

The Emerge of the Mathematical Software packages for the PC Use of a PLATO based mathematical software package for solving a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE) representing material and energy balances on a tubular reactor. C2H6 → C2H4 + H2 z – conversion T – Temp (°R) *Shacham and Cutlip, Computers Chem. Engng., 6(2), 79-95(1982)

Pre-assigned variable names. Solution of the Tubular Reactor Balance Equations using the PLATO Software Package The user enters the problem, the package takes care of the technical details of the solution. Limited problem size. Pre-assigned variable names. *Shacham and Cutlip, Computers Chem. Engng., 6(2), 79-95(1982)

Solution of the Tubular Reactor Balance Equations using the Polymath Software Package The user enters the problem, the package takes care of the technical details of the solution. No limits on the problem size. Meaningful variable names.

A “Paradigm Shift” in Engineering Problem Solving* Numerical Solution: After the mathematical model of the problem is formulated it is solved directly by a numerical software without any further manipulation *Fogler H. S., “An Appetizing Structure of Chemical Reaction Engineering for Undergraduates”, Chem. Eng. Ed., 27(2), 110(1993)

What Can be the Role of the Smartphone in Process Computation? It has been shown that numerical solutions (using the PC) have replaced the traditional methods (analytical, short cut etc.) in process calculations. The advantage of the mobile devices over the PC is the 24/7 availability. The disadvantage lies in the difficulties associated with the program development and/or major program modifications in such devices. It is recommended to use the PC for program development and testing, to load the well tested program in the mobile device and to change only limited amount of numerical data for specific calculations, simulations etc.

Process Simulation - Nitric Acid oxidation of 2-octanol in a Semi-Batch Reactor Presents from start Added continuously A - 2- octanol, P - 2-octanone , X – undesired oxidation products B - nitrosonium ion, causes an autocatalytic behavior

The 2-octanol reacts to form 2-octanone and carboxylic acid. Nitric Acid oxidation of 2-octanol in a Semi-Batch Reactor (van Woezik and Westerterp*) In the semi-batch reactor aqueous nitric acid is initially present, and 2- octanol (A) is added at a constant rate until a desired molar ratio of the reactants is reached. The 2-octanol reacts to form 2-octanone and carboxylic acid. Under normal operating conditions, the temperature in the reactor does not exceed the limit of ~ 0 °C. If the temperature at any time exceeds ~ 5 °C, runaway conditions develop, which may lead to a maximal temperature of over 200 °C, and conversion of all of the 2-octanone to carboxylic acid. *Chemical Engineering and Processing, 39, 521(2000) and 41, 59(2001).

Reactor’s Temperature - Normal Operation and Temperature Runaway Simulation of 20 hours of operation of the reactor with PolyMathLite on a smart phone takes 5 seconds

Conclusions It has been shown that mathematical software packages associated with mobile devices can complement such packages installed on PCs, because of their 24/7 availability and very short execution times. The program development and testing should be done, preferably, on a PC. The tested program can be installed on the mobile device to enable the user to carry out parametric runs, whenever necessary. A potential application of PolyMathLite was demonstrated by calculating temperature dependent properties and parametric study of the operation of a semi-batch, multi-phase reactor in which two consecutive, highly exothermic reactions are carried out.

The Predicted Future of Mathematical Software Packages (1990) To Mordechai, You are going to bring about a paradigm shift in the way we not only teach chemical reaction engineering, but all chemical engineering through your development of POLYMATH. Scott 8/27/90
