VISUALIZATION METHODS FOR EVALUATION OF FEASIBLE SEPARATIONS OF AZEOTROPIC MIXTURES

Abstract

In this study the visualization system AVS (Application Visualization System) is applied. This tool is provided with a module library for userfriendly modelling of systems under study. Three data viewers are implemented: Image Viewer, Graph Viewer and Geometry Viewer allowing the graphical representation of multidimensional data fields as the boiling and dew temperatures as a function of the composition. By using special modules the graphical representations can be characterized by colours, brightness and other effects; by the zoom module the scale can be varied; there are also possibilities for the animation of the objects under study, the representation of isolines, for example of temperature or driving forces, as well as the calculation and representation of vector fields. The last option makes it possible to construct representation combining information about the residue curve map and the temperature surface.
