Che36 Simulation

Changes/Additions: Notes:
1. Using Heater instead of HEX for E-103  Streams
to vaporize water stream from TK-101 o 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9(Water) flash
 “The water is vaporized and spec: Pressure and Enthalpy
heated (F) to produce the steam o Others: Temperature and
that mixes with the ethylbenzene Pressure
feed to the reactor.” o Property Package: Raoult’s Law
 Using HEX effectively changed T (except for Stream 2, 8,12, 11 –
of water stream but did not fully SRK)
vaporize water o Force stream phase: Global
2. Adding Heater to bring distillate Definition
(recycled ethylbenzene) stream to room  Constant pressure process at standard
temperature (25C), since the calculated atmosphere – 1.01325 bar
temperature of the said stream is -  0.966198 Hydrogen vapor recovered
117.791C from TK-101
 No heater: T of distillate stream  Average 8.287 secs execution time (f5)
affects stream 2 (Error: error (3 trials)
calculating liquid phase fractions)  Process Units Property Package:
3. Streams 2, 8, 12(before heater), 11
o TK-101 – SRK
flash spec is changed to SRK
o Others – Raoult’s Law
4. Utility 1(of E-101) temperature is
changed to 500C to account for errors Errors encountered:
and effectively heat stream 2 to 500C
(Calculated outlet stream is 498.806C –  Recycled loops
0.2388% error)  Phase equilibria errors
 Calculation type: Calculate Outlet  Error calculating liquid phase fractions
Temperatures  Incorrect flash specs/property package
 Counter Current flow direction
5. Adding mixer after R-101 to join top and
bottom product streams of the
conversion reactor (since both streams
now have compound amounts)
6. TK-101 flash spec is changed to SRK
7. Shortcut Column used for Distillation (T-
101):
 Flash spec: Raoult’s Law
 Bottom: 0.9997 Styrene
8. 2 Recycle blocks added:
 1 – for recycled ethylbenzene
 2 – for water/steam stream
