Acetic Anhydride Plant Summary
The final mathematical model, derived automatically from the most detailed model description the student provides, has 3894 equations and 4116 variables.
Without the high-level modeling assistance that MODEL.LA provides, it would be infeasible for students to derive and solve such real-world engineering problems themselves.
MODEL.LA removes the tedium and frustration associated with mathematical derivations and manipulations and allows students to concentrate on the real engineering decisions behind model development--regarding physical and chemical phenomena, topological and hierarchical structure, cause-effect relationships, and behavior characterization.
