- 21 Mar: I was surprised that most of you had not seen structured variables in MATLAB before in tonight's class. I had assumed you were familiar with them. I have updated the code to show how structured variables can be used to carry information around between the outer function (driver.m) and the inner function (pfr_example.m).
- 24 Mar: Project update 1
- The project due date has been postponed to 04 April, at 17:30, to give you some more time to get a really good simulation and report together.
- The heat transfer coefficient should be \(U = 631\,\text{W.m}^{-2}\text{.K}^{-1}\)
- The following requirements have also been removed from the project, because they are not a core part of the course.
- No need for any mechanical design, materials of construction (i.e. cross out the entire 3rd bullet point of step 3)
- I will be specifying the gas viscosity, particle size of the catalyst, and the number of tubes to use in the next day or two. For now you should be able to use reasonable estimates of these, based on what typical reactors look like and by looking up typical values.
- 25 Mar: a number of you are struggling with MATLAB code, and even more concerning, the conceptual issues around the course project. Rather than continue with new material, I will make the next 2 classes (11A and 11B) more tutorial like. Come with your questions, and let's make sure we get some good projects submitted!
- 25 Mar: code on this page has been updated to show how to find an optimum.
