Resumen:
The purpose of this work is to develop a reasonably detailed dynamic model of a Lurgi-type industrial methanol synthesis reactor so as to determine important simplifications, to identify application/operating model limits, and to preliminary check the feasibility for the nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) methodology. To do so, a partial differential equation (PDE) system is formulated and integrated to characterize the main phenomena occurring in this shell and tube boiler-reactor. The PDE numerical solution is performed through the use of several very performing algorithms (BzzMath library).
