Modelado y simulación de un sistema de generación de vapor de una planta de alimentos : Análisis del sistema en estado transitorio.

Abstract

The present work of curricular integration develops the modeling and simulation of a steam system contained in a food plant, covering its components, operation and applications, so as to ensure the development of this based on solid knowledge of steam systems acquired during this period. For which the main consumption equipment is modeled and simulated in COMSOL Multiphysics as support software, since it allows to know the behavior of the equipment as a function of time. Finally, the results obtained are imported into the Wolfram System Modeler software to know the behavior of the steam system, these data are validated according to data obtained from operating equipment detailed in previous papers. In order to achieve the established objectives, the work has three chapters structured as follows: In the first chapter the introduction, objectives and the theoretical framework corresponding to steam systems and the software in which the model is performed are established. The second chapter establishes conditions, considerations, parameters, limitations and other characteristics corresponding to the modeling and simulation of the consumption equipment and the steam system. The third chapter shows the results obtained, which are analyzed and validated; finally, conclusions and recommendations are established.
