Systematic Approach for Developing

Dynamical Models
Definition of the
problem

1. State the modelling objectives. This is to


determine the model accuracy.
2. Sketch streams of the process.
3. Define the accuracy of the model.
4. Define is the process is on steady state
or transient state.
5. Define is the model is on 1, 2 or 3D.

A system is completely defined ONLY when DOF = 0

Verifying the model

Underspecified system

Over specified system


There are two types

Always CHECK the DOF of


the model

There are more


unknowns
that
equations.
- Reduce the
number of
specified
variables
- Find more
