The process is simulated by employing the equilibrium stage model RadFrac and plug flow model Rplug in Aspen Plus. Experiments are also carried out in a lab-scale to evaluate the process. The results show that at the molar ratio of water to methyl acetate about 4.0-5.0 in the feed stream and the volume ratio of distillate to feed MA above a critical value, the side product contains more than 80% (by mass) (MeOH) and less than 2% (by mass) MA, while the bottom contains more than 46% (by mass) acetic acid (HAc) and less than 0.5% (by mass) methanol with almost complete conversion of MA. Compared with the old catalytic distillation process we proposed before, this process can cut down 47.6% energy consumption and a distillation column.展开更多

One is the main road; the second alternative is through a secondary road into which additional cars are coming. To keep the total number of vehicles constant, we subtract on the main road the same number of cars as where added to the bypass. We check the Fourier transform of the average on each traffic light cycles of the velocity on the main road and bypass. In the jammed region we obtained different results for the main road and for the bypass. Whereas for the main road we obtained l/f, for the bypass we obtained ＂red noise＂, i.e., 1/f2.展开更多
