Visual Cue	Narration
Slide 1	Welcome to this spoken tutorial on DWSIM. In this tutorial, we will learn how to do sensitivity analysis and adjust. My name is Kannan Moudgalya.
Slide 2	In this tutorial, We will determine the exact Reflux Ratio for a separation We will first do this through Sensitivity Analysis We will repeat this through the Adjust operation
Systems requirement slide	To record this tutorial, I am using DWSIM 3.4
Prerequisite Slide	To practice this tutorial you should know How to open a simulation file in DWSIM How to carry out rigorous distillation simulation How to add components to a flowsheet
Prerequisite Tutorials and Files Slide	Our website spoken tutorial dot org gives details of the prerequisite tutorials. You can access these tutorials and also all the associated files from this site.
Slide for statement of problem solved Next line Next line Highlight file	This slide shows the problem solved in one of the prerequisite tutorials. This was solved using Rigorous distillation. The purity achieved was less than what was desired. How do we improve the purity? We need to increase the reflux ratio. Let us open the corresponding file in DWSIM - the file name is in the heading.
Show DWSIM window, already made to the required size	I have already opened DWSIM. I have already opened the file rigorous dot dwxml This file is available to you for download from our website spoken tutorial dot org.
Click Distillate >> In Properties section, locate Molar Composition, item 2 >> click the arrow next to Mixture.	Let us click Distillate. In the Properties section, let us locate Molar Composition, item 2. Let us click the arrow next to Mixture.
Highlight Benzene mole fraction is 0.945.	The Benzene mole fraction is 0.945. We would like to increase this to 0.95. Let us attempt this by increasing the reflux ratio. This is what we saw in the slide a little while ago.
Click on Optimization option in the Menu bar >> click on Sensitivity Analysis	Locate the Optimization option from the Menu bar, to the right of the File button. Let me click it. Let me click the option Sensitivity Analysis.
Click Sensitivity Studies.	A window appears. We can see five menus in the menu bar of sensitivity analysis. Locate Sensitivity Studies. If it is not already selected, click it.
Under Case Manager >> Click on New option >> point to SACase0.	Now we can see a box with four options under the title Case Manager. Click on New option. This will help in creating a new Sensitivity Analysis case. We see the name SACase0.
	Recall the problem that we want to solve: We want to increase the reflux ratio so as to get better purity. Thus, reflux ratio is the independent variable.
Click on Independent Variables button >> click on Object button >> Click on DC-000	Let us enforce this through the Independent Variables button. Let me click on empty space besides the Object button. Click on DC-000, the name of our distillation column.
Click on Property >> click the down arrow >> scroll down and click on Condenser_Specification_Value	On the right hand side, there is an option named Property. Let me bring this inside. Let me click the down arrow. Now scroll down and identify Condenser_Specification_Value. It comes at the bottom of this menu. It plays the role of reflux ratio. Click and select it. You can see it selected here.
Change the numbers as per narration.	Recall that we want our reflux ratio to be greater than 2. So, we will enter the Lower limit as 2. Change the Upper limit to 2.5. Change the number of points to 6.
Click on Dependent Variable >> Under Variables, click the green plus button	Let us next click on Dependent Variable. On the left hand side, see a column called Variables. Below that, see a plus button in green to Add variables. Click it.
Perform action as per narration.	A new row appears. Click the down arrow below Object. You may have to click it twice. Click on the option named Distillate. Let me click the down arrow below Property. You may have to click this also twice, to open a drop down menu. Locate Molar Fraction (Mixture) – Benzene. You have to scroll down to reach it. There are also other options that sound very similar to it. Make sure that you choose this. Click it. It gets selected and appears on the tab.
Click on Results >> Start Sensitivity Analysis	Then click on Results. We can see the option called Start Sensitivity Analysis. Let me click it.
	We see the column getting simulated for reflux ratios, one by one. At the end of the simulation, we get the message Done.
	You see results for six reflux ratios, from 2 to 2.5. We also see the corresponding benzene compositions.
Menu bar→ Optimization→ Sensitivity Analysis	We can go back to Independent Variables. Change the number of points to 11. Return to Results. Click Start Sensitivity Analysis once again. You can see that eleven runs get completed.
Click Independent Variables Type 2.05, 2.1	Let us scroll up. See that the desired purity of 0.95 will be achieved between 2.05 and 2.1. You may choose these as the lower and upper limits in Independent Variables and repeat. But, I will not do that now. Continuing in this manner, we can determine the exact reflux ratio required for 0.95 purity.
Assignment 1	I have an assignment for you. Can you find out the reflux ratio required for 0.95 purity? Follow the procedure I explained just now. I will give you the answer: it is approximately 2.067.
Click on Chart >> Draw option	We can also see these results in a graphical form. Click on Chart option. Click on Draw option. You can see the chart here. Distillate composition versus the condenser specification value. That is, the reflux ratio. Let me close this pop up. Let me save this simulation as sensitivity.
Assignment 2	Let us go to the next assignment. In the previous assignment, include a second dependent variable: benzene mole fraction in the bottoms. Observe both distillate and bottoms compositions. Find out how to plot two profiles using Chart.
Assignment 3	Let us do another assignment. Verify whether the reflux ratio of 2.067 that we saw in assignment 1 will work. For this, start with rigorous.dwxml once again. Change the reflux ratio to 2.067. Simulate. What distillate composition do you get?
Object Palette → Adjust→ Drag to flowsheet	We calculated the desired reflux ratio by trial and error. DWSIM has a powerful method to directly calculate this. It is called Adjust. Locate Adjust from the object palette on the right hand side. Drag it to flowsheet and drop it outside the column, below the distillate. Let me click and choose it.
	In the Properties tab, we see an option called Controlled variable. This corresponds to the dependent variable, namely, distillate composition. If it is not already opened, let us click the arrow to the left of Controlled Variable. And, this will open up. Click where it says Click to Select. Click the button that comes at the right end.
	A pop up appears. It has three columns. Below Type, click on Material Stream, if it is not already selected. In the Object column, that is, the middle column, choose Distillate. This produces a lot of variables on the right most column. Locate Molar Fraction (Mixture) – Benzene It comes after Solid Phase entries end Click it. Once again, be careful, as there are many similar sounding options. Click OK. Verify that this gets reflected in the properties menu.
	Repeat the above process, but now, with Manipulated Variable. Click the button on the right. In the pop up, scroll down and locate Distillation column. Click on it. Then click DC-000. Then locate Condenser_Specification_Value. Click it and then OK.
Enter 0.95001	Follow the usual procedure, now for Parameters property. Scroll down to see it. We can see an option called Adjust Property Value. This value is generally 1. Delete 1 and enter 0.95. I shall enter a slightly larger number 0.95001. I want you to think about why I have entered a slightly larger number. A few lines below this, see an option called Simultaneous Adjust. Following the usual way, change its value to True.
	If it does not automatically calculate, Press Play and then Recalculate All. In my case, it calculated automatically. So, I shall not click those. In a short time, calculations get completed.
	Let us check whether our objective of 0.95 for distillate purity is achieved. Choose Distillate. Check Mixture under Molar Composition. We can see that the benzene composition is 0.95.
Calculator→ Play, Recalculate	Let us now check what reflux ratio is required for this. For this, click on the Distillation column. Check the value under Condenser Specification. We see a value of 2.067. It is the same as what we obtained in the Sensitivity Analysis. Let me save this simulation as adjust.
Assignment 4	I have the next assignment for you. Supposing that I want 0.96 benzene mole fraction in the distillate. What reflux ratio is required? As in the problems we solved, you may change only the reflux ratio. Solve this first by Sensitivity Analysis. Check your calculations with Adjust.
Assignment 5	Let us do one more assignment. Find the highest distillate purity you can get in this column. You may vary the reflux ratio only, as in the earlier assignments. I could go up to a mole fraction of 0.99, by proceeding gradually.
Slides	Let me summarise.
