PhD-level model reproduction and validation

Job ID: 40165516

Budget: $30 – $250 AUD

fully recreate and validate a research-level chemical engineering model from a published paper, using Aspen Custom Modeler (ACM only).

In simple terms, he wants you to:

Rebuild the rotating packed bed (RPB) CO₂ stripper/regenerator described in the paper from scratch in ACM

Convert what was originally done with Aspen Plus + FORTRAN subroutines into native ACM equations and blocks

Implement all governing equations:

Mass and energy balances

Chemical reaction kinetics

Gas–liquid mass transfer correlations

Heat transfer and hydrodynamics specific to RPBs

Validate the model using the pilot-plant experimental data (Cheng et al.) reported in the paper

Prove that your ACM results match the literature

And deliver:

✔ A working ACM model file

✔ An Excel file comparing simulation results vs experimental data

✔ A Word document explaining assumptions, equations, correlations, and how everything was implemented step-by-step in ACM

Who they want:

Someone with very strong Aspen Custom Modeler experience

Deep knowledge of CO₂ absorption/stripping, mass transfer, and RPBs

Experience translating FORTRAN subroutine logic into ACM

Ideally a PhD-level researcher or equivalent background
