  1. Exercise 2 How to chose the best property prediction method for simulation ? 054402 Design & Analysis II

  2. Importance of Selecting the Appropriate Prediction Method • Correct predictions of the physical properties of the mixture as a function of temperature and pressure. • Each method is suitable only for particular types of components and limited to certain operating conditions. • Choosing the wrong method may lead to incorrect simulation results. • Particularly important for reliable computations associated with separation operations (distillation, LL extraction, etc.). 054402 Design & Analysis II

  3. Principle Steps in Selecting the Appropriate Thermodynamics Package Choosing the most suitable model/thermo method. Comparing the obtained predictions with data from the literature. Adding estimates for components that not available in the chosen thermo package. Can they be neglected? Generation of lab data if necessary to check the thermo model. 054402 Design & Analysis II

  4. Sources of Information • Publications and professional literature that deal with the process in question or with the components that participate in the process. • Simulator reference manual (HELP). • DATABANKS • Rules of thumb. 054402 Design & Analysis II

  5. Issues in Selection of the Appropriate Thermodynamics Package • Nature of mixture (e.g., hydrocarbon, polar, electrolyte, etc.) • Pressure and temperature range • Availability of data. 054402 Design & Analysis II
