DESARROLLO DEL SIMULADOR DINÁMICO DE UN REACTOR BATCH CON FINES DIDÁCTICOS (BUILDING A DYNAMIC SIMULATOR OF A BATCH REACTOR FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES)
Resumen
En este artículo se muestra el desarrollo del simulador dinámico de un reactor químico por lotes. Se describen las ecuaciones básicas del sistema a las que se llega mediante principios de conservación, los métodos numéricos empleados y la implementación del simulador como un macro que corre en Excel. El simulador está provisto de una interface de usuario amigable que incluye botones y cuadros de diálogo, documentos de ayuda y barras de avance de la simulación. Si bien ya existen simuladores comerciales con estos elementos, la idea es mostrar el desarrollo de un simulador usando un software libre y principios universalmente conocidos, a fin de que las instituciones de educación superior consideren la construcción de sus propios simuladores en oposición a comprar licencias.
Palabras Clave: Simulador de Procesos, Educación, Ingeniería Química.
Abstract
This article shows the development of the dynamic simulator of a batch chemical reactor. It describes the basic equations of the system, derived from basic conservation principles, the numerical methods used and the implementation of the simulator as a macro that runs in Excel. The simulator has a user-friendly interface that includes buttons and dialog boxes, help documents, and simulation progress bars. While there are commercial simulators having these elements, this work aims to demonstrate the development of a commercial-looking simulator from universally known principles and widely available, free software, so that higher education institutions may consider building their own simulators instead of purchasing software licenses.
Keywords: Dynamic Simulators, Education, Chemical Engineering.
