Question

This is an individual exercise. You will need to simulate 2 processes (Process 1 and Process 2) for this assignment. Please submit a single file consisting of the following items to

the Assignment 'HYSYS Part 1 - Individual Simulation Report' on SurreyLearn: 1) Plot work as a function of interstage pressure for Process 1. What is the optimal interstage pressure and why? 2) Perform hand calculations to check the mass and energy balances of the interstage cooler in process 1. Comment on the agreement or disagreement of your calculations with those of HYSYS 3) For Process 2, make a single x-y plot for methanol/water, comparing values from NRTL and Peng Robinson packages in HYSYS and equilibrium data from Hirata et al. (1975). Comment on the appropriateness of each model for use in a simulation. 4) Draw a block flow diagram for Process 2, showing all temperatures, pressures, reactions and necessary utilities. 5) Present the process flow diagram (PFD) from HYSYS for Process 2. 6) Generate an annotated report from your HYSYS simulation containing the following : (i) Main Properties (under other) - Mass and Energy Balances, (ii) - all, (iii) Reactions - Stoichiometry, Basis, (iv) Recycles - Monitor, (v) Unit Ops (for ALL) - Connections, Parameters, and (vi) Distillation Column -Summary, Column Profiles). NB an annotated report is one in which you have highlighted by some means, values or entries that you believe are important to the reader.
