Development of a system-element methodology for research and environmental modernization of technological equipment

Abstract

For solving problems of analysis, calculation, optimal design and control of technological processes, a powerful system-logical and formal-mathematical apparatus is the system-element methodology. This methodology has been developed to describe the processes of coagulation and sedimentation in multiphase turbulent flows. From the standpoint of systems analysis, it includes three stages: qualitative analysis of the structure of the physicochemical system (PCS); synthesis of the structure of the functional diagram of physical and chemical effects; identification and evaluation of system parameters based on experimental data. Considering the totality of physicochemical effects and phenomena, six types were identified - from phenomena at the molecular level to the totality of processes that determine the hydrodynamic situation in the apparatus as a whole. Approximately to the general case, in the future, a system-element methodology was proposed, designed to create an ecologically perfect unit and including 10 stages, starting with the formulation of the problem and the choice of initial data and ending with the design task. We have proposed a more advanced system-element methodology for research and environmental modernization of technological equipment, the stages of which do not describe the specifics of a particular process, but at the same time reflect the integrity and logical sequence of the research.
