1 Introduction
The Gas Properties extension displays the following properties for a specified stream:
Heating Values, Wobbe Index (Wobbe Methods and data from ISO 6976:1995(E))
Water and hydrocarbon Dew points
Water Content (in lb water/MMSCF, and mg/m3)
Molar and Mass Heat Capacity at constant pressure (CP) from HYSYS (Rigorous
Calculation from EOS)
Molar and Mass Heat Capacity at constant volume (CV) from HYSYS (See below)
Molar and Mass CV calculated by an entropy method (See below)
Semi-Ideal Molar and Mass CV (CV = CP - R)
Corresponding values of Gamma (CP / CV) for all these CV 's
The window also shows basic stream properties such as Vapour Fraction, T, P, MW, and
Compressibility (Z)
The Gas Properties extension has been tested in versions 2.1.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 3.0.1 of
HYSYS but should also work in previous and future versions.
2 Changes for Version 1.5
Fixes bug in Semi-Ideal CV calculation introduced by HYSYS Version 2.1.3.
Displays CV as calculated by HYSYS (This is a rigorous value since 2.1.3)
Updated documentation and interface
New PFD Icon (HYSYS 2.2 onwards)
3 Changes for Version 1.5.1
Added ability to print a report from the extension (This is what the gasprops.rdf file does)
(Right click on PFD icon, or extension title bar and choose Print Datasheet…)
Improved About tab information and user guide
4 Changes for Version 1.5.2
Updated in order to be compatible with HYSYS 3.0.1 continuous properties (i.e., fluid
package may change at stream level). The extension was originally built assuming that all
streams within the same flowsheet would always share the same component list. This will
not be always true starting from HYSYS 3.0.1.
5 Important Note
This Automation application has been created by Hyprotech Technical Support as an example
of what can be achieved through the object architecture of HYSYS. The application is
provided for academic purposes only and as such is not part of Hyprotech's normal QA
procedures. We strongly encourage users to check results carefully and use the facility
accordingly. Please report any problems encountered through the normal support channel at
support@hyprotech.com
Where Z is the Compressibility Factor of the mixture, xi is the component mole fraction and
RBi is the component Square Root of B parameter.
8.2.2 Overall Lower Heating Value
x i LHVi
LHV i
Z
Where LHV is the overall lower heating value, and LHVi is the component lower heating
value.
8.2.3 Overall Higher Heating Value
x i HHVi
HHV i
Z
Where HHV is the overall higher heating value, and HHVi is the component higher heating
value.
8.2.4 Mass Density (This is reported at 1 atm and 15ºC)
From PV = ZnRT, the molar density can be found as 1/V=P/(Z.1.RT), hence the mass density
is P/(ZRT).MW. The equation used is:
x i MWi
kg/m 3
Z 8.3145 288.15 101.325
i
N.B. The blank values at 150K, 150 and 200 Bar are due to difficulties with the Peng
Robinson EOS at these conditions.
