[ 1 ] - Analyzing and Comparing Energy and Exergy of POXR and SMR Reactors for Producing Hydrogen from Methane Gas

The POXR and SMR methods adopted in producing hydrogen from methane gas are simulated and exergy analysis of both the processes are run for comparison. The effective parameters of the feeding materials ratio and the system temperature for maximizing hydrogen production and increasing efficiency are assessed here. Influenced by the changes in these parameters the unit efficiency is increased up ...

[ 2 ] - Area Energy and Throughput Targeting in Debottlenecking of Heat Exchanger Networks with Decomposition Approach

For energy saving retrofit projects, its economics are usually evaluated in terms of capital investment and payback time. The capital investment is in direct relation to the total heat recovery area of the network and the payback time factor is base on both the area and the energy savings. The debottlenecking is an increased throughput, which can be profitable in economic sense. The combination...

[ 3 ] - Distillation Column Identification Using Artificial Neural Network

  Abstract: In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used for modeling the nonlinear structure of a debutanizer column in a refinery gas process plant. The actual input-output data of the system were measured in order to be used for system identification based on root mean square error (RMSE) minimization approach. It was shown that the designed recurrent neural network is able to pr...
