Dynamic modeling of a reactive distillation column
This research focuses on white box modeling of the dynamics of a reactive distillation column,precisely,one that is used for the commercial production of MTBE (methyl-tert-butyl-ether)by the reaction between methanol and isobutylene.The motivation for this study is mainly the process complexity pose...
