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

Abstract

The present Curricular Integration Project develops the modeling and simulation of the main components of a steam system, which operates in a food production plant, using the Wolfram System Modeler software. Due to the current demand for optimization of industrial processes involving energy systems, it was decided to create a virtual representation of a steam system that works in a food production plant, using a multiphysics modeling and simulation program such as Wolfram System Modeler, to analyze the validity of the results produced by this tool. This aims to evaluate the scope and limitations of the program and decide whether it is reliable for future simulations that seek to study these optimization processes in question. The aforementioned was achieved through a bibliographic review on the operation of steam systems and the behavior of the elements that compose them when working together; and also, a review of documentation on the operation of the software and the modeling process. Once the necessary information was reviewed, the steam system model was created, and the data obtained from the simulation were compared with the values of a real system, presented in the reviewed bibliography, in order to validate the results produced by the program.
