Why do we need a model?• Description of real life situations• Tool to help design and operate a system• Provide predictions on how a system will
behave under different conditions• “Everything should be made as simple as
possible, but not simpler”- Albert Einstein

Modelling Approach
EquilibriumBased Models
RateBased Models
• 1D, 2D or 3D• Steady state or dynamic model• CFD
• Empirical design•HETP and HTU/NTU

Summary• Simple models often out perform more
detailed models• Assumptions need to be taken with care
