Dear all

It’s my first time posting in here, so forgive me if I asking help bluntly as I am out of option. I am currently in final sem chemical engineering student working of project trying to simulate cumene production from benzene and propylene with a reactive distillation (RD) column. However there are too many of unknown data therefore many assumption was used. We are afraid it will be harder to justify later on. Furthermore we are unsure the reactive distillation column we simulation is right, and we are having some problem to get convergence in the trans-alkylation reactor. Although Chemical Process Design: Computer-Aided Case Studies. does give some data on this matter, we would like more referring on cumene production by RD proceses. So is there any other journal or book, I can refer on this particular simulation and the actual data like operating pressure, temperature, kinetic data, etc.  We are using aspen Hysys 7.3
