Template:TPS Unit Model Theory

The {{{TPS}}} {{{UnitOp}}} Model uses the {{{TPS}}} algorithms and data to determine the status of the {{{OutputStream}}}.

Mapping of the SysCAD to {{{TPS}}} streams is done via Species Mapping.

The {{{TPS}}} {{{UnitOp}}} can be incorporated into a SysCAD flowsheet, it can be connected with SysCAD inlet and outlet streams.

1. User connects the {{{TPS}}} {{{UnitOp}}} with SysCAD input streams,
2. The SysCAD feed stream(s) using SysCAD species is converted into {{{TPS}}} "Input" using {{{TPS}}} Species. The species mapping is defined in the corresponding [[{{{TPS}}} Model Configuration]] unit model.
3. The {{{TPS}}} {{{UnitOp}}} calls the {{{TPS}}} algorithms to determine the status of the mixture using the converted {{{TPS}}} "input" data.
4. The {{{TPS}}} results are displayed in the "output" tab using {{{TPS}}} species.
   • If the {{{TPS}}} {{{UnitOp}}} is in Side Calc mode, the results are NOT converted into SysCAD species. (SysCAD stream outlet = sum of SysCAD inlet streams, no change will occur)
   • If the {{{TPS}}} {{{UnitOp}}} is in Reactor mode, then the results are converted back into SysCAD species. Please see Species Mapping for more information.

NOTES:

• The Input, Output and Diff tab pages are displayed using {{{TPS}}} species, as defined in the {{{DBFile}}} specified in the corresponding [[{{{TPS}}} Model Configuration]] unit model.
• The species used in the SysCAD project are shown on the optional Sp pages, shown as part of the QFeed, QBypass, QUnmapped, QRxnProdBypass and QProd pages.
• The calculations performed are similar to using {{{TPS}}} directly, except the contents of the SysCAD stream are mapped to equivalent {{{TPS}}} species using the settings defined in the [[{{{TPS}}} Model Configuration]] unit model.
