Dynamic Process Modeling

The document provides an overview of general process modeling frameworks and approaches. It discusses theoretical, empirical and semi-empirical models. Theoretical models are derived from first principles like balances and property models, empirical models fit data to map inputs to outputs, and semi-empirical models use first principles and parameter fitting. It also describes types of process models like lumped vs distributed, steady state vs transient, and single vs multi-stage models. Key modeling concepts discussed include balances, degrees of freedom analysis, and modeling flows, reactions and heat transfer.

- 11. Degrees of Freedom Degrees of Freedom = Number of Variables – Number of Independent Equations A fully specified equation system should have ZERO degrees of freedom (DOF) What is this for differential equations? E.g. 5 variables and 1 equation 4 DOF U 1 (t), U 2 (t) Given by controller equations D(t) Given by environment X(0) Given as an initial condition 4 more equations Completes the system and gives zero DOF left Note that we could give As an initial condition
