gPROMS Advanced User Guide

This manual describes several advanced features of the gPROMS package. These include:
 Dynamic Optimisation in gPROMS (see chapter 2).
gPROMS can be used to optimise the steady-state and/or the dynamic behaviour
of a continuous or batch process. Both plant design and operational optimisation
can be carried out. The form of the objective function and the constraints can
be quite general. Moreover, the optimisation decision variables can be either
functions of time (\controls") or time-invariant quantities.
 Parameter Estimation in gPROMS (see chapter 3).
gPROMS can be used to estimate the values of model parameters from the results
of one or more experiments. Both steady-state and dynamic experiments can be
used for this purpose. The experiments can employ di erent initial conditions
and/or operating sequences; the sets of variables measured by each experiment,
as well as the times at which these measurements are taken, may also di er from
experiment to experiment.
 The gPROMS Foreign Object Interface (see chapter 4).
Foreign Objects are external software components that provide certain computational
services to gPROMS MODELs. These include physical property packages,
external unit operation modules, or even complete computational
uid dynamics
(CFD) software packages.
