Computer aided design (CAD) and simulation of multicomponent                    separation processes such as distillation and gas absorption have been          usually done based on modelling the system using the equilibrium stage          concept.  The equations for each interior stage of a column are solved          simultaneously with those representing the reboiler and/or condenser,           with the constraints specified on yield, minimun/maximum permissible            temperatures and pressures, vapor and liquid flow rates, etc.  The PI           plans to increase CAD capability by extending it to include the more            realistic situations that exist in industrial facilities by modelling           transient conditions as well as including treatment of arbitrarily              linked multiple columns.                                                                                                                                        The specific research planned consists of (1) modelling transient               multicomponent separation processes based on fundamental mass and               energy balances; (2) incorporating tray hydraulics (including weeping           and entrainment) in the design considerations; and (3) solving the              resulting dynamic equations by numerical methods and  comparing the             results with published experimental data.  The results should help in           the development of start-up and control strategies for columns of all           kinds including low hold up packed columns which are of special                 interest to industry.
