re name to : FIRE CASE Select stream BASIS SIMULATION : “FIRE”
Automatically calculated
by HYSYS
But , You can manually
keep as it is fill to apply some margin
of total inventory volume
Now, at this stage we will skip those other problem this will need long
explanation I will include it in another tutorial
Select : Musoneilan
See table below !, it shows the result of
sensitivity test for each vapor flow
equation method.
Fill Cf = 1
It is critical flow factor, generally the
value close to 1.0
Ex : 0.90 , 0.94 …
Cf = 1 for worst case of peak flow

The method selection has no significant effect to the result (peak flow)
Now, you can choose one of the method with no worry about the result,
personally , I prefer using “MUSONEILAN” In my opinion, Musoneilan is the most simple and easy to be used.
DON’T use SUBSONIC if the system is not in sub-critical condition
10 Process System The back pressure has significant effect only for SUBSONIC method
This equation show ; the back
pressure has effect to the
depressuring result,,
Do you know,,
Why the back pressure has effect only for
subsonic method ? *)
Recommended value
For gas-filled systems – 80% to 100%
“UN-CHECK” For liquid filled systems – 50% to 70%
will result in greater peak flow rate

it’s OK
The fact, the fluid is released to flare. The pressure of the system is correspond
to the back pressure . Therefore, the final pressure is slightly above atmospheric
condition

Aspen HYSYS does not take the volume of the vessel heads into account so the volume will be the liquid in the
cylindrical portion only.
Aspen HYSYS defaults the volume to be equal to the volumetric flow of the feed ‘BASIS SIMULATION”. This
will be disproportionate to the total volume inventory calculation where the certain margin volume is applied.
Aspen HYSYS defaults the height and diameter vessel in accordance with the volume. This may be
disproportionate to the actual total wetted area calculation.
At present, Aspen HYSYS does not have the option for jet fire case where the heat flux is more than 21.000
BTU/hr ft^1.64. The method of spreadsheet can be used to model jet fire case.
API recommends depressuring to the lower of 50% of the initial pressure or 100 psig / 6.9 barg.
PV work term
gas-filled systems 80% to 100%
liquid filled systems 40% to 70%
A higher efficiency results in a lower final temperature
If one is checking that the minimum temperature of the vessel will not fall below a certain value (for example,
for validating the steel alloy grade), and then 100% will give the most conservative result.
