Abstract :
In this paper, a solution for the modeling-simulation of the temperature propagation phenomenon in the asphaltic emulsion from an industrial tank is presented. The heating process of the asphaltic emulsion is a distributed parameter one, its model being expressed using a partial differential equation. The modeling-simulation procedure is based on the matrix of partial derivatives of the state vector (Mpdx) associated with Taylor series. Some suggestive 2D and 3D graphical representations are presented in order to show the temperature distribution inside the tank. Also, a solution for the designing of the emulsion´s temperature control system is proposed in the end of the paper.
