ML-based Method for Solving the Microkinetic Model of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis with Varying Catalyst/Reactor Parameters
Abstract
This study introduces a physics-informed machine learning framework to accelerate the computation of the microkinetic model of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. A neural network, trained within the NVIDIA Modulus framework, approximates the fraction of vacant catalytic sites with high accuracy. The combination of implicit differentiation and the Newton-Raphson method enhances derivative calculations, ensuring physical consistency. Computational efficiency improves significantly, with speedups up to $ 10^4 $ times on a GPU. This versatile methodology generalizes across catalysts and reactors, offering a robust tool for chemical engineering applications, including model approximation and catalyst parameter fitting from experimental data.
