Abstract

Due to its objected-oriented design Modelica is predestinated to describe chemical engineering unit operations. Still only few activity on this field is published. This paper introduces a library which covers three of four major thermal seperation processes: absorption; adsorption and rectification.

Additionally an extension of the ExternalMedia libraryis presented that allows the connection to thermodynamic and physical property packages for two phase mixtures. Also a possible forecast to an implementation of a CAPE-OPEN interface is made; allowing the use of a plurality of established chemical data packages.
