Abstract

A systematic procedure is introduced for computer aided analysis and multi-objective optimal synthesis of a chemical process system. Maximizing the second law efficiency, or minimizing the dissipation of the available energy (exergy), is one of the objectives of optimal synthesis. The structure of the computer program for implementing the procedure is described. The line code is used to represent material species throughout the program, including input and output. The program contains three major subroutines: thermodynamic property estimation, system analysis, and system synthesis. The use of the program is illustrated with several examples in the areas of energy resource conversion, energy conservation, and material processing. More specifically, the Portland cement production process, the CO2 acceptor process, and the methanation process are systematically analyzed. The formulation of an optimal synthesis of the methanation process is also presented.
