ChantalBaz,
the selection of partial or total condenser can depend from presence (or not) of incondensables (as for other separations),
it may seem that you have not experience with these simulations, if that is the case better to ask for specific technical assistance as suggested by xeng...
this heat & mass balance can be solved by hand calculation or in Excel...
For fluid properties look in tables (as suggested by LittleInch) or use some process library or maybe Nist database...
apetri,
great answer, thank you,
actually for hydrate we utilize Katz's equilibrium constants or Baillie and Wichert's chart, while, for inhibitors, Hammerschmidt's equation and similar methods (altough I know there are several limits).
You say that Prode works with Excel, is it a Windows...
can you experts suggest some Excel application for calculating hydrate formation temperature conditions (with inhibitors as methanol) with 1 - 2 degrees accuracy ?
It's for natural gas, pressure range 1 - 50 Atm
thanks,
Maurice
