  3. Abstract:
  4. A method for simultaneous phase identification and equilibrium calculations is put forward and applied on the highly nonlinear multiphase reactive distillation calculations. The method is based on modifying mole fraction summation equations. In the proposed methodology phase identification, phase equilibrium, and chemical reaction equilibrium calculations can be performed simultaneously and effectively. Simulation and optimization of equilibrium reactive distillation can be done efficiently using this approach. The methodology has been verified with the help of case studies. The method provides phases actually present at equilibrium, their quantities and compositions in each stage of the column simultaneously. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 7th European Congress of Chemical Engineering 7 and the 19th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering CHISA (Prague, Czech Republic 8/28/2010-9/1/2010)
