2. Can BLOWDOWN Technology handle a system
that involves dense phase fluids?
Yes, BLOWDOWN Technology has been proven to handle dense
(supercritical) phase fluids and provide accurate results. The dense phase is
seen at high pressures, where the fluid has a viscosity similar to a gas, but a
density closer to that of a liquid.

6. How should I account for water in the system I
am analyzing?
Water can either be modeled in BLOWDOWN Technology as miscible in
the hydrocarbon phase or as a separate free-water phase. The component
mapping messages provide details on how to select the water handling
options. To model water as a free phase, go to the System tab and check the
“Global Free Water Phase” box. To model it as miscible in the hydrocarbon
liquid zone, you must manually add water to BLOWDOWN Technology’s
component list and provide the component mapping. Aspen HYSYS V10
requires you to manually provide a selection for the water handling option to
ensure that special consideration is given to this input.

9. Can the tool predict wall temperatures during
pipeline pressurization?
Yes, included in Aspen HYSYS V10, the pipeline pressurization template
allows you to analyze the dynamic pressurization of a pipeline. You can
determine the minimum temperature achieved in the piping directly
downstream of the orifice and how far down the pipeline the temperature
propagates. You can also determine the time required to pressurize the
system.
