Potential for Symbolic-assisted Process Simulation

This paper explores the potential of acausal modelling tools for a simple, but challenging process engineering benchmark problem. Matlab/Simulink illustrates a traditional block diagram modelling tool, while MathModelica with its strong emphasis on objects and symbolic manipulation was used to demonstrate a novel approach to modelling. KEY WORDS Process simulation, symbolic manipulators, Modelica, DAEs
