    Calculation of Isentropic Efficiency / PV work term in HYSYS for blowdown modelling.

    Hi everyone, I seem to have unwittingly caused a great deal of confusion with this thread. I'll try and explain myself so it is a bit more clear. Firstly, I am not 100% sure that isoenergetic is the "official" word for the concept that I was referring to although it does seem to be used a lot...

    Calculation of Isentropic Efficiency / PV work term in HYSYS for blowdown modelling.

    Thanks again for your assistance guys. I have no problem at all modelling an isentropic flash fo any fluid. I have built a few HYSYS models that allow me to do this reliably, althugh the Prode method is also interesting. Morten, I can assure you that I have not invented the word...

    Calculation of Isentropic Efficiency / PV work term in HYSYS for blowdown modelling.

    Thank you both for your replies. I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner, however, I have been away. I will explore the Prode option further as it seems like it may give the results I require. Morten, In the HYSYS depressurising utility the isentropic approximation applies to the expansion of gas...

    Calculation of Isentropic Efficiency / PV work term in HYSYS for blowdown modelling.

    Hello, I am trying to improve on the accuracy of results produced when using the HYSYS dynamic depressurising utility. I understand the purpose of the isentropic efficiency option when setting up the model and that 100% efficiency gives the lowest temperature downstream. It is my...
