15. What is model?
Q.2 Answer the following questions. (Attempt any three) (15)
A) What are the various model formulation principles?
B) Describe the various stages in the development of a complete mathematical model for a
process using neat flow diagram.
C) Write a brief note on sequential modular approach.
D) Consider that the Benzoic Acid (BA) is continuously extracted from toluene using water
as the solvent. The two streams are fed into tank A (mixer) where they are stirred
vigorously and the mixture is then pumped into tank B (settler) where it is allowed to
settle into two layers (extract and raffinate). Model the system to find out what fraction
of BA has passed into the solvent phase.
Q.3 A) Model the ideal binary distillation system with suitable assumptions. Also check the (07)
mathematical consistency of the model.
B) A tank contains 20 m³ of water. A stream of brine containing 2 kg/m³ of salts is fed into (08)
the tank at a rate of 8.33 x 10-4 m³/s. Liquid flows from the tank at a rate of 5.56x10-4

 m³/s. If the tank is well agitated, what is the concentration of salt in the tank when the tank
contains 30 m³ of brine?
OR
B) Model the multi component flash drum with suitable assumptions and check the (08)
mathematical consistency of the model.
