TRP 08. Development of a Systems Engineering Model of the Chemical Separations Process
August 2001 - August 2004
Research Objectives & Methods
This work includes reviewing and analyzing the Argonne Model for Universal Solvent Extraction (AMUSE) code structure, examining other possible implementations, defining software activities, developing a verification plan, and modifying and improving the software. This work also involves redefining the graphical user interface (GUI) to increase the utility of the AMUSE code suite as a stand-alone analytical package.
Developing a systems engineering model required discussions with Argonne National Laboratory personnel to identify pertinent components of the chemical separations process. Each step required model development to establish its significance with regards to the overall process. Comprehensive model development involved defining the inputs and outputs from individual models and establishing how each connected to the other within in the chemical separations process.
