Hi Akash
When choosing which processes to model, I think the important idea is
that we would like to model well-know processes that are documented
fully and clearly in commonly-available textbooks. By doing that, we get
nice worked examples that people can use, and we also simultaneously get
to work on streamlining our modelling process, setting up the necessary
reusable common components, and identifying their shortcomings.
I am not an expert on knowing which chemical processes we would need to
choose in order to ensure that our model libraries have the breadth and
depth they will need. But based on things that overlap with my own
interest areas, I would suggest
* steam methane reforming
* water gas shift reactor
* nitrogen synthesis
* fischer-tropsch process (probably too difficult for now?)
* methanol production from natural gas
Perhaps there are others that represent a better choice? Thoughts?
We may be constrained by our thermodynamics routines; that may limit
what we can model. But I really like the idea of pushing ASCEND forward
as far as we can using the approach of trying to build nice
well-written, reusable models for at least two-three different
processes, at the level of an undergraduate textbook like those which
Kannan has been using for his Textbook Companions. We get to stretch
ASCEND's capabilities a bit, and also generate useful reference models
at the same time.
Cheers
