Abstract:
A simulation method of an extraction system which stimulates the operation of an extraction system, said simulation method comprising the steps of:utilizing object-oriented software for dividing the operation of the extraction system into individual basic elements of appropriate units for individual calculation so that the behavior of each individual basic element can be analyzed separately; simulating extractors that mix fluids of two phases and extract substance included in one fluid into the other fluid; and providing, as basic elements which compose the extractor, a mixing section for simulating separation and mixing of fluids of two phases and mass transfer between the fluids of two phases, a flow dividing section for simulating divided flows of a portion of the fluids, and a flow merging section for simulating confluence of a plurality of fluids, wherein said simulation method simulates occurrence of flows other than the basic flow using the flow dividing section and the flow merging section.
