Abstract
Cumene production is an important intermediate process for the production of phenol and acetone. This paper discusses different modelling strategies to solve the mathematical model of cumene reactor. Five different strategies have been utilised for solving the Partial Differential Equations obtained during the reduction of mathematical model. The schemes include dynamic modelling using Finite Difference Method in OpenModelica, pde solver, FDM in Simulink, MATmol and Orthogonal Collocation Method. A comparative study of the schemes with plant data has been done and it is observed that Orthogonal Collocation Method gives a good agreement with plant data compared to other strategies.
