@shvet - I'm not sure if all my comments are showing, I think some are still going through approvals. It's not a pure iC4 line, I was just treating as such to simplify the question.
This is refrigeration section of Alky process. I'm at home, so don't have all process variables to reference...
What do you mean you did it in reverse?
As for temp and pressure - I was just supplying what info I had from the material balance. Unfortunately, the pressure of the equivalent liquid barrels wasn't documented. I'm guessing it was set to some standard condition.
1. I thought this was Chemical Engineering forum and I'm a chemical engineer, seemed logical at the time... is there a better forum i should have used? And I guess I haven't looked at the different forum options, as I think I've always ended up in this forum when I've searched topics over the...
it should be 100% vapor at this point. I am looking at the equivalent liquid volume after it's completely condensed. But yes, there is some propane, n- butane, iso-pentane in the mixture. I'm just trying to see if i conceptually have the math right, so I can apply it to actual process...
So I'm new to the oil and gas field, having been in more of a non-technical and unrelated industry for the past 20+ years. So, I'm pretty rusty!
I have a M&E balance for hydrocarbon stream where I'm trying to confirm the calculations to convert a vapor stream to nominal liquid barrels/day...
