Design and development of a code in MATLAB environment for the thermodynamic and parametric analysis of non-centrifugal sugar production technologies

In this work, a code is designed and developed using MATLAB software for thermodynamic and parametric analysis, different technologies for the production of non-centrifuged sugar. Additionally, a methodology is developed to calculate the energy and operation indicators of each of the technologies studied, such as the consumption of bagasse, the temperature in the combustion chamber, etc. With this, a graphical interface (GUI) is developed, which allows the user to enter experimental data and obtain the parameters mentioned above. It is proposed to analyze the influence of some variables on the calculated results, such as temperature, amount of fuel, etc. and finally carry out a comparative analysis of the technologies, to define the best alternative in the production of non-centrifugal sugar.
