Mode summary for the BA1 example simulation

This example uses Process mode to provide a conceptual design that serves as a good initial starting point for dynamic simulation.

Due to the specialized nature of batch models and the exclusion of column hydraulic options, we do not need to transition to Fluid Flow mode before we switch to Dynamics mode. Therefore, we do not include descriptions or results for Fluid Flow mode for this simulation.

Note: If we had included hydraulic options in the batch distillation column, we would have transitioned to Fluid Flow mode before moving on to Dynamics mode.

This example uses Dynamics mode to observe the transient behavior during batch operation. We can use the results of the dynamic simulation to adjust the process to better meet our design requirements.
