TY - JOUR AU1 - Corless, R. AB - Southern Ontario Numerical Analysis Day May 12, 2000 Ontario Research Centre for Computer Algebra University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada A b s t r a c t s of Invited Talks C o m p u t e r A l g e b r a for Differential-Algebraic E q u a t i o n s (DAEs) for many purposes including plant design, analysis of operating problems, assessment of control strategies, optimization of plant operation and training of plant operators. A plant simulation is typically comprised of a large number of mathematical models each representing some aspect of the processing performed by individual pieces of equipment or the control strategies implemented in the distributed control system. These mathematical models are logically connected to form an integrated model of the plant just as the process piping, electrical wiring and pneumatic tubing connect the equipment in the physical plant. Each equipment model is either a system of nonlinear algebraic equations or differential-algebraic equations. This presentation describes some of the presenter's experiences building and solving mathematical models for piping networks, cryogenic heat exchangers used in natural gas liquefaction and distillation columns in the context of training operators of TI - Southern Ontario Numerical Analysis Day JF - ACM SIGSAM Bulletin DO - 10.1145/377604.569766 DA - 2000-09-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/association-for-computing-machinery/southern-ontario-numerical-analysis-day-jb0yef32mM SP - 28 VL - 34 IS - 3 DP - DeepDyve ER -
