    HYSYS Depressurization

    Depressurization within a vessel results in adiabatic cooling. Lowered temperature (even negative) is expected. At the outlet of a valve, the gas could either warm or cool, depending on the Joule-Thompson coefficient. These are both described in most textbooks about thermodynamics. As a...

    Printing in Excel

    LonnieP, It seems that you are new to Excel VBA programming, so the best tip is to use the "Record Macro" function found in the Developer menu or Developer tab. Click "Record Macro", change the color of a cell, print, insert a row, copy and paste, or any other activity and then click "Stop...

    Excel VB macro safety?

    Here is a good tip: Set your Macro Security settings to "Disable all macros with notification". For unknown files, open the VB editor and review all the code. If there is something you do not understand or looks malicious then simply close the file. If it looks fine then accept the security...

    Erosional velocity and liquid velocity

    MESSADAA, I would consider both. That is, pumped liquids are generally designed for a range of 5-10 ft/s. Also, I would not design to exceed erosional velocity [v = c / sqrt(density) ]; where v is in ft/s and density in lb/ft3. The question is what is the value of c. Some fluids require 150...

    CAE Company Start-up

    Our company employs one drafter, one electrical designer and two civil designers. If the drafter and designers are not able to complete some drawings we would send them to a company with drafting labor in Vietnam. This contractor charged us $35/hr and we billed the client $60/hr. I was never...

    Natural Gas Liquid Heater Nozzle Configuration

    Boiling fluids should always go up and condensing fluids down. As a chemical engineer, we do not specify the direction of flow on the data sheet. A mechanical engineer using HTRI or HX vendor would recommend the arrangement. We would just verify. With respect to vertical baffles on the...

    2 problems

    BigInch, The answer to your first question is that the code is not within a module of the project, but within the userform itself. It does need to call Userform1_Click because the userform is itself the only user form. For the second question, Please put the entire code so that I could more...

    Bucket Location in Liquid- Liquid Separator

    10815L, A sketch would be very helpful to determine a good reply to your question. That is, will the water be pumped with a minimum flow return? Is it a horizontal or vertical vessel? Is there a weir? Will the oil exit the top or bottom? ~chemebabak

    modify formula Index Match in Macro to "go to next" if match not found

    Have you tried an if statement in a loop? For example: If WB2.cell(x,1) = "" then WB2.cell(x,1) = WB2.cell(x,1) end if x = x+1

    restricting and flow orifice plate design

    PMCap, Your first question is the most important: " Are these calculators equally applicable to both restricting orifice plate and a flow orifice plate design?" As you may know, a restricting orifice (RO) is a plate with a hole in it. The purpose of ROs is to limit flow. An FO is an RO that...
