Computer Simulation of the Continuous TNT Process. Volume 1: The Nitration Section

Abstract

The development of a mathematical model of the nitration section of a continuous process for the manufacture of TNT is described. Implementation of the model on a high-speed digital computer is also discussed, as are the steady state and dynamic studies that were conducted on the resulting computer simulation. The way in which optimized process operating conditions and improved process control strategies were developed using the simulation is illustrated.
