Dynamic Column Breakthrough Simulator — Documentation

The Dynamic Column Breakthrough Simulator is a desktop application for modelling two-component, non-isothermal breakthrough in a packed adsorption column. This wiki is its complete reference, from first launch to the governing equations.

Download the latest release for Windows or Linux. Installation and first launch are covered in the README.

Getting started

Page Contents
Using the App Quick start, a guide to every tab, saving cases, exporting reports and overlaying experimental data
Troubleshooting Windows SmartScreen and antivirus, Linux extraction and glibc, download verification, startup diagnostics and log locations

Scientific basis

Page Contents
The Model Governing equations as implemented, dimensionless groups, momentum balance, numerical method and verification
Isotherm Models Thirteen pure-component models, with IAST and extended-Langmuir mixture equilibrium
Mass Transfer Linear-driving-force formulation, resistances in series and the five selectable modes
Adsorbent Presets The five presets and the published source of every property
Limitations The scope of the model; please read before quoting results

Reference

Page Contents
Privacy and Security What the application does on your machine, its single optional network request, and source-code availability
References All sources, and how to cite the simulator

Questions and bug reports are welcome via GitHub issues.
