Type of Models
1. Theoretical model - developed using the principles of chemistry, physics, and biology - applicable over wide ranges of conditions - expensive and time consuming - some model parameters such as reaction rate coefficients physical properties, or heat transfer coefficients are unknown Empirical models - obtained fitting experimental data - range of the data is typically quite small compared to the whole range of process operating conditions - do not extrapolate well Semi-empirical models - combination of 1 and 2 - overcome the previously mentioned limitations to many extents - widely used in industry

7. Perform a degrees of freedom analysis (Section 2.3) to ensure that the model equations can be solved. 8. Simplify the model. It is often possible to arrange the equations so that the dependent variables (outputs) appear on the left side and the independent variables (inputs) appear on the right side. This model form is convenient for computer simulation and subsequent analysis. 9. Classify inputs as disturbance variables or as manipulated variables.

Conservation of Energy
The general law of energy conservation is also called the First Law of Thermodynamics. It can be expressed as:
rate of energy rate of energy in rate of energy out = accumulation by convection by convection net rate of work net rate of heat addition + to the system from + performed on the system the surroundings by the surroundings

The total energy of a thermodynamic system, Utot, is the sum of its internal energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy:
U tot = U int + U KE + U PE

For the processes and examples considered in this book, it is appropriate to make two assumptions: 1. Changes in potential energy and kinetic energy can be neglected because they are small in comparison with changes in internal energy. 2. The net rate of work can be neglected because it is small compared to the rates of heat transfer and convection. For these reasonable assumptions, the energy balance in Eq. 2-8 can be written as ) dU int = wH + Q (2-10) dt

For constant density, the corresponding model can be summarized as: dV = w1 + w2 w (2-12) dt d (Vx ) = w1 x1 + w2 x2 wx (2-13) dt

Equation 2-13 can be simplified by expanding the accumulation term using the chain rule for differentiation of a product:
dx dV = V + x (2-14) dt dt dt Substitution of (2-14) into (2-13) gives: dx dV V + x = w1 x1 + w2 x2 wx (2-15) dt dt Substitution of the mass balance in (2-12) for dV/dt in (2-15) gives: dx V + x ( w1 + w2 w ) = w1x1 + w2 x2 wx (2-16) dt After canceling common terms and rearranging (2-12) and (2-16), a more convenient model form is obtained:
dV 1 = ( w1 + w 2 w ) dt w1 w2 dx = ( x1 x ) + ( x2 x ) dt V V (2 -1 7 ) (2 -1 8 )

Assumptions: 1. Perfect mixing; thus, the exit temperature T is also the temperature of the tank contents. 2. The liquid holdup V is constant because the inlet and outlet flow rates are equal, wi = w. 3. The density and heat capacity C of the liquid are assumed to be constant. Thus, their temperature dependence is neglected. 4. Heat losses are negligible.

Model Development - I
For a pure liquid at low or moderate pressures, the internal energy is approximately equal to the enthalpy, Uint H, and H depends only on temperature. Consequently, in the subsequent =H where the development, we assume that Uint = H and U int caret (^) means per unit mass. As shown in Appendix B, a differential change in temperature, dT, produces a corresponding , change in the internal energy per unit mass, dU int

where C is the constant pressure heat capacity (assumed to be constant). The total internal energy of the liquid in the tank is:
U int = VU int (2-30)

Model Development - II
An expression for the rate of internal energy accumulation can be derived from Eqs. (2-29) and (2-30): dU int dT = VC (2-31) dt dt Note that this term appears in the general energy balance of Eq. 210. Suppose that the liquid in the tank is at a temperature T and has an . Integrating Eq. 2-29 from a reference temperature enthalpy, H Tref to T gives, H = C T T H (2-32)
