Simulator for Forced Circulation Evaporation

[bydublin]

Hi,

I am new in the area of simulation.

I am looking for software which provides dynamic simulation of forced circulation evaporator system at 27"Hg vac. It should include organics/inorganics physical and thermal data and function for the design of Heat Exchanger (tube and shell), separator, condenser, recirculation pump and vacuum pump.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi,

This link with a static evaporator model may help for basic understanding.

I can sent you a report and some Simulink files to make a first start for a dynamic model. Simulink is a product from the MathWorks (see other forums).

Hey bydublin,

If you are new to simulation and plan to start with a dynamic simulation of the complexity you describe, the chance you will quickly get the answer you seek is pretty slim.

The first step in modeling is understanding what problem you are trying to solve, and then build a model for that purpose. Your post doesn't really describe a goal other than to find software to build a dynamic model. The objective determines the model needed.

Aspen Engineering Suite programs like Hysys, batchfrac, dynamics, and custom modeler are programs my company licenses that can used to build varying complexities of dynamic models along the lines you describe.

best wishes,

@bydublin Its a bit unclear to me: Is it the process side or the utility side (or both) that you wish to simulate?

If its only the process side - is the gradients from to to bottom important?

If not then i think that a "out of the box" simulation such as HYSYS possibly could give you results - although some care in setting up the problem should be considered.

But its an expensive package that requires experience. If its a one-shot task then i think a consultant that already has the package will be much cheaper

Best regards
