Kinetic Method for Hydrogen-Deuterium-Tritium Mixture Distillation Simulation Volume 48 · Number 1 · July/August 2005 · Pages 167-170 Technical Paper · Tritium Science and Technology - Tritium Science and Technology - Detritiation, Purification, and Isotope Separation  A. B. Sazonov, Z. G. Kagramanov, E. P. Magomedbekov ANS Store: Purchase Article Simulation of hydrogen distillation plants requires mathematical procedures suitable for multicomponent systems. In most of the present-day simulation methods a distillation column is assumed to be composed of theoretical stages, or plates. However, in the case of a multicomponent mixture theoretical plate does not exist. An alternative kinetic method of simulation is depicted in the work. According to this method a system of mass-transfer differential equations is solved numerically. Mass-transfer coefficients are estimated with using experimental results and empirical equations. Developed method allows calculating the steady state of a distillation column as well as its any non-steady state when initial conditions are given. The results for steady states are compared with ones obtained via Thiele-Geddes theoretical stage technique and the necessity of using kinetic method is demonstrated. Examples of a column startup period and periodic distillation simulations are shown as well. |
