Smart Regions

The aim of this project is to create a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary system of cooperation between companies and research organizations for developing energy efficient and environmentally friendly technology systems, equipment, components, methodologies and strategies for buildings in intelligent regions. The project is in line in the Czech Republic with EU energy strategy based on Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance.

One of results of this project was creation software for the gas membrane separation. Software for gas membrane separation is one of the project goal, that has been successfully finished. Software is modified for usage in process simulation program DWSIM. The core of the software is the script for mathematical model of gas membrane separation written in the programming language IronPython. The model considers membrane separation of M gas species for co-current or counter-current flow setting in membrane module equipped with Nf hollow fibers of length L. Pressure drop in the module is dealt by Hagen-Poiseuill low. Numerical solution of the model is reached by membrane module discretization to N finite volumes. Complete set of N(2M+1)-1 equations is solved by Newton method. Model script is nowadays prepared for licensing. Result was reached within solution of the project Smart Regions.
