Document:
This page contains references related to nonequilibrium models, sometimes also referred to as "rate-based" models, and provides further reading material for the article "Real-World Modeling of Distillation" in Chemical Engineering Progress, July 2003, pages 28-39. We divided our reference list into several sections for easier perusal and quick access by subject. Chronological or alphabetical lists are avalaible at the end. The reference list was collected by multiple people and is quite extensive and we keep updating it (see the date stamp below and at the bottom of this page). However, such lists are inherently incomplete and therefore, if you have a reference we missed, please forward it via e-mail to Harry Kooijman. Suggestions and comments are also welcome.

AspenTech and Koch Engineering, Inc collaborated in 1989 and developed "RateFrac", which was based on the nonequilibrium model described in the original papers by Krishnamurthy and Taylor with the important additional capability of being able to handle systems with chemical reactions. The influence of reaction on mass transfer was modeled by means of enhancement factors. Ratefrac had one mass transfer coefficient model for each type of column internal but it has the facilities to add user models for the calculation of transfer coefficients, pressure drop, and interfacial area.
Currently, RateFrac is offered by SimSci-Esscor within the flowsheeter PRO/II.
After discontinueing the licensing of RateFrac, AspenTech developed a new model, called RateSep (2018).
Chemstations Inc. software contains a nonequilibrium model for both steady state and dynamic simulation.

This page was automatically generated from a source file using the following BiBTex file which contains our references. For this we used various small Perl scripts: bib2xml converts a bib file to XML, xml2bib does the reverse, and finally bibref converts the source file to this HTML page. We typed the following commands: "call bib2xml.bat < all.bib> all.xml" and "call bibref.bat all.xml < neq-pubs.src> neq-pubs.htm". Calling bibref also creates various useful files: matched, shows the found references and the number of occurances, missing, shows those references that could not be found, read_ids, shows all references read from the bib (xml) files together with their source, and read.xml, is a compilation of all references read from the bib (xml) files.
Perl is a modern, flexible, multi-purpose scripting language anybody can learn. We use it to automate many repetitive tasks, like compiling this page of references. Though Perl scripts can be horribly cryptic, this should not hold you back from using them: You can just run them without knowing what's inside, like you'd do with any old fashioned executable! The only thing you need to know is how to use the commandline, and that is nothing to be afraid of! For any information on Perl http://www.perl.com is the best place to start looking. Perl is installed by default on many a mature operating system, for example Linux. Unfortunately, MS windows requires you to install it yourself. We use ActiveState's Perl for windows (once installed, run the scripts from the commandline by starting a "DOS" box by going to "Start"-"Run" and typing "Cmd" or "Command" on Win95). Useful Perl links can be found at the end of the Perl Timeline page and on http://www.perl.org.
