CH353 Design and Simulation Lab

Experiment #3 (Batch II)

Aim: To understand the various separator modules and simulation application to


different chemical Engineering Problems
1. Consider you have a feed with liquid mixture contains 40% pentane (1), 20%
hexane (2) and 40% cyclohexane (3) (all in mol-%) at 1 bar and X°C. Here, X is the
product of the last two digits of your roll number + 25. Examine the following
flash conditions using the Flash model in Aspen Plus. Use Vapor-Liquid as the
Valid Phase in the computation. Prepare the summary Table listing all P, T, Q, and
vapour fraction for the following.
a. P-V Flash: At 1 bar and a vapor fraction of 0.6, find the equilibrium temperature
and the heat duty.
b. T-P Flash: At the temperature determined from P-V Flash Condition and a
pressure of 1 bar, verify the flash model results in a vapor fraction of 0.6 at
equilibrium.
c. T-V Flash: At the temperature of P-V Flash Condition, and a vapor fraction of
0.6, verify that the flash model results in an equilibrium pressure of 1 bar.
d. P-Q Flash: At 1 bar and with the heat duty determined from P-V Flash
Condition, verify that the temperature and vapor fraction are consistent with
previous conditions.
e. T-Q Flash: At the temperature and heat duty determined from P-V Flash
Condition, verify that the pressure and vapor fraction are consistent with
previous conditions.
2. A 100 kmol/h feed stream that is 35 mol% ethanol, 6 mol% water, and 59 mol%
cyclohexane is fed to a decanter. The temperature and pressure of feed stream are
40ºC and 1 bar, respectively. Use UNIQ-RK as the property method. Determine
the compositions of the two outlet streams from the decanter and their flow rates.
3. Perform the liquid-liquid separation of the mixture of p-xylene and water by using
specific stream condition. 2000kg/h feed stream that is 50 wt.% p-xylene and 50
wt.% water is fed to the decanter. The temperature and pressure of feed stream
are 35ºC and 1 bar, respectively. Use Peng Robin as a property method. Determine
the composition of each component in the upper and lower phases at temperature
35ºC and pressure 1 bar.
4. Simulate the following problem given
in the Problem using “Sep” module.
