Hello experts!!
Is it possible to obtain overall heat transfer coefficient value (roughly) without experiment for a reactor with cooling jacket?
My approach to estimate U value by designing shell and tube heat exchanger using process simulator but the value was quite high than our expectation...
Dear experts,
I am still in the learning phase. Bear with me.
(My main task is process simulation but slowly trying to develop myself into a process engineer)
While preparing a datasheet for pressure vessels, what would be sound engineering practices to specify the design pressure and...
I am looking for a pump vendor which meets my design specification:
Process fluid: Liquid CO2
Temp: -50oC
suction prsesure: 7 barg
discharge pressure: 70 barg
volumetric flowrate (at T and P): 60 L/hr.
I tried to find local vendors in South Korea but no luck with this low temperature and small...
To make my point understandable without confusion..... I am getting liquid phase even below the bubble point pressure. And the vapor phase is produced only at vacuum pressure.
I cannot plot the phase envelope due to some required changes to be made on thermodynamic model.
Dear experts,
This query is based on simulation results (aspen hysys).
What I thought was scrubber or column bottom pressure would be at bubble point which corresponds to bubble point pressure. However, the vapor pressure at the scrubber bottom temperature (with the same composition) is...
I did some projects regarding CO2 capture but used aspen hysys as suggested by the client (and using a different solvent). We don't need to change the chemistry as it is very difficult to obtain our own reaction kinetics.
Aspen plus has a very useful tool "design spec". Therefore, after fixing...
"But when I try to increase BOTH (the lean solvent flowrates and K2CO3 concentration)"
What is the ratio of Flue gas CO2 flow rate and solvent flowrate?
There is no straightforward equation to estimate the minimum no of trays/reflux ratio for extractive distillation. Take a good initial guess for number of trays and observe its effect (vary the tray no.) on duty of reboiler and condenser. You might get a curved line. Higher duty-more operating...
If you want to proceed to really build the scrubber on the basis of simulation, the appropriate thermodynamic model should be elecNRTL (you can change the vapor phase to RK model). You are not supposed to use UNIFAC model (it is my recommendation). you can estimate missing interaction parameters...
