Modeling Chemical Reactions in Modelica By Use of Chemo-bonds

Keywords

Abstract

This paper describes a new methodology for modeling and simulating chemical reaction systems using vectors of chemo-bonds, called multi-chemo-bonds. Chemical reactions are usually described through mass flows alone. Yet in reality, they are convective flows, as the reactants carry their volume and heat with them in the reactions. Each combined mass/volume/heat flow can be described by a chemo-bond. The combination of all such flows can be described by a vector of chemo-bonds, i.e., a multi-chemo-bond.
