Tutorial 1: Overview of ASCEND


Visual Cue
Narration
Slide number 1

Title slide

Welcome to the Overview of ASCEND tutorial series.
Show Slide 2 In this tutorial, we will introduce you to
  • ASCEND
  • We will have a look at the problems that can be solved using ASCEND
  • We will have first-hand experience of ASCEND interface through a sample model
  • and we will also take an overview of the topics covered in this tutorial series
Slide number 3

System Requirement

System Requirements

Here I am using

  • Ubuntu Linux OS version 12.04 and
  • ASCEND version 0.9.8
Slide number 4

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial series, user doesn't require any prior knowledge of ASCEND.


To know more about ASCEND, please visit ascend4.org


For relevant tutorial,s please visit our website

http://spoken-tutorial.org

Slide number 5

What is ASCEND

What is ASCEND?
  • ASCEND is an open-source software program, for solving mathematical models.
  • ASCEND stands for Advanced System for Computations in Engineering Design.
  • It was first developed in 1978 at Carnegie Mellon University.
  • ASCEND can be used for solving systems of non-linear equations, linear and nonlinear optimization problems, and for dynamic systems
Slide number 6

Sample Problems

Let's have a look at examples of process simulation problems that can be modeled using ASCEND:
  • Modelling of a flash drum for separating a given mixture.
  • Modelling a process flow-sheet comprising of different components such as a Mixer, Reactor and a Separation unit.
Open the ASCEND interface Now, let's have a look at the ASCEND interface.
I will load a code file in ASCEND and solve it.
Load files test.a4c and press solve Here is my code test.a4c.


The name of my model is lotka.


I will load this model and will run one of the methods and solve the model.

Slide Applications of ASCEND Now let's have a look at the various topics that will be covered in this tutorial series.
Slide Learning Objectives At the beginning of the series, we will have a tutorial on how to install ASCEND on Linux and Windows systems.
Slide Learning Objectives We will also learn how to open a model in ASCEND and solve it.


Slide Learning Objectives We will learn how to build a basic model and add methods to this basic model.


In this tutorial, we will also learn how to write dimensionally consistent equations in ASCEND.

Slide Learning Objectives We will also learn how to
  • create a re-usable model in ASCEND
  • how to reuse this model for different components
  • also how to import data from Thermodynamics library in ASCEND


Towards the end we will learn how to solve this model.

Slide Learning Objectives We will also have a tutorial on modelling different components of a flow-sheet such as
  • a Mixer
  • a Reactor
  • and how to combine these different components to get the final flow sheet


We will run the flowsheet in ASCEND to get final results.


Slide Learning Objectives We will also have a tutorial on
  • how to use FOR loop in ASCEND
  • how to declare Arrays in our models
  • how to plot graphs using ASCEND
Slide number 6

Summary

This brings us to the end of this tutorial.


This tutorial was an overview of what you will learn in the ASCEND tutorial series.


Hope you found it interesting.
