Stages of Intelligent Systems Creation

Maria KirginaNational Research Tomsk Polytechnic University mkirgina@gmail.com http://portal.tpu.ru/SHARED/m/MKIRGINA/eng

Decision of inverse kinetic problem, definition of kinetic parameters such us constants of speeds and activation energy for different marks of catalysts;

Creation of kinetic model;

Creation of formalized scheme of chemical transformations;

Thermodynamic analysis of the chemical reactions;

Creation of reactor model, including hydrodynamic and heat transfer models and model the catalyst deactivation;

Based on kinetic models of multi-component catalytic

processes

Take into account reactivity of substances, lifetime of the catalyst and non-additivity properties of hydrocarbon

mixtures
