I want to utilize cadet for simulating membrane chromatography. In doing so I need to get under the hood and make a few changes to the GRM and underlying assumptions. Are there readily available resources that outline the software architecture and where these files may be?
Thanks,
-Rosario C.
Hi Rosario and welcome to the forum !
With CADET version 5, we have added a developer guide detailing the first steps on how to add new models. The guide also includes some general remarks on the software architecture. Also, we are happy to receive feedback on the guide.
If youre interested, we can also discuss the changes that you are planning, maybe during the next office hour.
Best regards,
Jan
Welcome Rosario,
I’d also be very curious about the changes to the GRM you need. Is it possible for you to share more details, perhaps in the Forum or at the office hours?
Best wishes,
Ron
The lumped rate model with pores (LRMP) is often used for modeling membrane chromatography. In this application, “interstitial phase” of the LRMP describes the membrane pores and the “pore phase” of the LRMP describes a stagnant liquid film at the membrane pore surfaces. The latter can be neglected by using the lumped rate model without pores (LRM).
Thanks for the quick responses! I was going off the terminology from this review paper… however after reviewing the lumped rate motel with/without pores, these models may suffice for my use case. I read through the developer guide and it definitely helps! thanks again. I’ll plan to attend December’s office hours.
Cheers,
