R. Carta et al., ERROR ANALYSIS OF COLLOCATION MODELS FOR STEADY-STATE MULTISTAGE SEPARATION UNITS, Computers & chemical engineering, 19(1), 1995, pp. 123-127
The stagewise collocation method is applied to reduce the full-order m
odels used for simulating multistage separation units. In particular w
e refer to steady-state, high-purity (x(D) up to 0.9999) and symmetric
(x(B) = 1 - x(D)) binary distillation columns. The performance of the
se reduced-order models is represented in a master plot which provides
, rather synthetically, the model error as a function of the reduction
order.
