User Kinetic Subroutines

• When your reaction kinetic does not fit the standard Aspen Plus
expressions. The following models allow you to supply a kinetic
subroutine to calculate the reaction rates
Model Name Reaction Type
RPlug USER
RCSTR USER
RBatch USER
Pres Relief USER
RadFrac REAC-DIST or USER
RateFrac REAC-DIST or USER
BatchFrac REAC-DIST

The Goal of the Kinetics Routine

• For reactor models
– Calculate rate of generation for each component in each
substream
– Make sure rates are in mass balance
• For stage separation models

– Calculate the rate of generation for each component on a
given stage
– Make sure rates are in mass balance
User Kinetic: Subroutine

• All units are in SI
• Have access to
– Aspen Plus physical property system through the physical
property monitors
– Pure component physical property parameters
– Parameters specific to a reactor

User Kinetic Reactions

• Fortran subroutine
– Name maximum 6 characters in length
– Uses real variables in double precision
• On the Reactions Reactions sheets specify:

– Reaction stoichiometry
– Subroutine name
– Input variables through the INT and REAL vectors
Reaction Rates (1)

• Units of reaction rates are different in different blocks:
• For RBatch and RCSTR

– Conventional components:
(kgmole/m3-s)(m3) = kgmole/s
Note:
Rates per unit volume are multiplied by the volume
occupied by the reacting phase

Reaction Rates (2)

• For RPLUG
– Conventional components:
(kgmole/m3-s)(m2) = kgmole/m-s
Note:
Rates per unit volume are multiplied by the cross-
sectional area covered by the reacting phase
Points to Remember about Reaction Rates

• We recommend that when calculating the final rates, use
the reaction volume variables, RPROPS_VLIQ and
RPROPS_VVAP from common RXN_RPROPS. This
guarantees:
– That RCSTR behaves the same way with or without the user
kinetics subroutine. (in terms of the behavior of the parameters
VOL and REAC-VOL)
– That the same subroutine can be used for all types of reactor
blocks

User Kinetics: Physical Properties (1)

• Use the ASPEN PLUS monitor routines to access the Aspen Plus
physical property system
• Monitors are available to calculate the following pure component

and mixture thermodynamic properties for either vapor, liquid or
solid
– Fugacity coefficients
– Enthalpies
– Entropies
– Free energies
– Molar volumes
– K-values
– Ideal gas properties
User Kinetics: Physical Properties (2)

• Vapor, Liquid and Solids transport properties are also
available
• See the User Models Reference Manual Chapter 3 for

more details

Passing Parameters
• User constants and variables are available to kinetics
routine in the real and integer vectors
• They can be defined in two places
– Reactions Reactions Subroutine sheet
• Global variables
• Vector names in subroutine REALR and INTR
– The User Subroutine Kinetics sheet, for the RCSTR, RBatch
and RPlug reactors
• Local to that reactor
• Vector names in subroutine REAL and INT
Useful Argument List Parameters

• SOUT - Vector containing information about the reactor
contents at the time of calling the Fortran routine
– Total and component flow rates
– Temperature and Pressure
– Total mass enthalpy and entropy
– Vapor and liquid molar fractions
– Mass density
– Molecular weight
• Detailed list of contents and units in this array see User

Models reference manual, Appendix C

Useful Argument List Parameters

• Arrays, Y, X, X1 and X2. Vapor, liquid, liquid1 and liquid2
mole fraction arrays
– Mole fraction arrays are packed vectors of length NCOMP
– Contain only components with non zero fractions
– IDX vector defines the order of components with respect to the
Components Specifications Selection sheet
Example. If NCOMP=2 and IDX(1,3)
Then Y(2) is the vapor mole fraction of the third component
on the Components Specifications Selection sheet

Accessing Universal Constants

• All physical property parameters used in the simulation
are available to a user routine
• Stored in a labeled common call the DMS_PLEX
• Each parameter occupies a continuous area within the
PLEX
• To access a parameter you will need to know:

– The name of the parameter
– The offset of the parameter in the PLEX
– The structure of that area

User Kinetics: Universal Constants (1)

• You can access the following universal constants:
Name Definition
MW Molecular weight(kg/kgmole)
TC Critical Temperature (K)

2
PC Critical Pressure (N/m )
3
VC Critical volume (m /kgmole)
OMEGA Pitzer acentric factor
DHFORM Standard heat of formation of ideal gas at 298.15 K (J/kgmole)
DGFORM Standard energy of formation of ideal gas at 298.15 K (J/kgmole)
TB Normal boiling point (K)

3
VB Liquid molar volume at TB (m /kgmole)
TFP Normal freezing point (K)

3 1/2
DELTA Solubility parameter at 298.15 K (J/m )
User Kinetics: Universal Constants (2)

Name Definition
3 1/2
MUP Dipole moment (J*m )
RGYR Radius of gyration (m)
CHI Stiel polar factor
CHARGE Ionic charge number

Practical Steps Required to Get a Value (1)

• Include the labeled common DMS_PLEX in the model
• Find the parameters name
– See page 6-13 of “User Model” Reference Manual for a list of
common parameters
• Determine the offset of the parameter

– Use the functions DMS_IFCMNC or DMS_IFCMN
LMW = DMS_IFCMNC(‘MW’)
– This line must appear before any executable code
– The MW values start from B(LMW + 1) and will be in the same
order as components on Components Specifications sheet
Practical Steps Required to Get a Value (2)

• Use statement functions to find the offset of any component:
XMW(I) = LMW + I
– Define XMW as an integer
INTEGER XMW
• Use the parameter in your equation
SUM=0
DO 10 I=1,NC
SUM=SUM+B(XMW(I))
10 CONTINUE

Using a Fortran Routine

• You must compile on the Aspen Plus server with the
command aspcomp <filename>
• Place the compiled object files in the run directory
• Alternatively
– Write a Dynamic Linking Options (DLOPT) file which specifies
the objects to use
Fortran Compiler
• To develop user kinetics routines on the PC you require
a Digital Visual Fortran 5.0 compiler
• End users do not required a compiler, distribute file as as
shared library
– Create shared libraries with the command:
asplink
