00:01 Welcome to this tutorial on Creating Reaction Set with Multiple Reactions in DWSIM.
00:09 In this tutorial, we will learn to:
00:12 Create Reaction Set with Multiple Reactions
00:16 Copy and reuse a Conversion Reaction
00:20 Use Create and Connect feature to auto create and connect Material Streams
00:27 To record this tutorial, I am using

DWSIM 5.8 (Classic UI) Update 4 and Windows 10 OS

00:39 The process demonstrated in this tutorial is identical in other OS also such as- Linux, Mac OS X or FOSSEE OS on ARM.
00:51 To practice this tutorial, you should know to-

Add material and energy streams and specify their properties.

01:00 Add Conversion Reaction
01:03 Specify Conversion Reactor parameters
01:07 The prerequisite tutorials are mentioned on our website.
01:12 You can access these tutorials and all the associated files from this site.
01:19 Multiple Reaction file used in the tutorial is provided as a Code file on this tutorial page.
01:27 Download the file from Code Files link.

Make a copy and then use it while practising.

01:36 We will develop a flowsheet to determine the exit composition from Conversion Reactor with multiple reactions.
01:44 Here we give Property Package and Inlet Streams Conditions, as shown here.
01:50 Next, we give the Reactions and Reaction Conversion for Reaction 1 and 2.
01:57 Here we give the Reaction inputs for Reaction 3 and 4.
02:03 Next, we give the Conversion Reactor operating conditions.
02:09 The flowsheet to be created is shown here for ease of understanding.

07:21 This reaction is similar to the first reaction but with a different conversion.
07:27 For this, we will not add a new reaction.

We will copy the existing Reaction-1 and edit the required fields.

07:37 Select Reaction 1 and click on Copy Selected Reaction button.
07:43 We see that a new reaction is added named Reaction 11.
07:49 Double click on Reaction 11.

10:09 Close the Settings window.
10:12 Now, go to the Flowsheet area.
10:15 Let’s create and connect the material streams to the unit operations.
10:20 To do this, we will use Create and Connect feature.
10:25 At the bottom of the main simulation window, go to Reactors tab.
10:30 Click on the Conversion Reactor displayed.

Drag and drop it to the flowsheet.

10:36 Let’s change the name of the object to R-01.
10:41 Under Connections, click on the drop-down against Inlet Stream and select S-01.
10:49 Now, click on yellow coloured Create and Connect button against Outlet Stream 1.
10:56 A material stream MSTR 003 gets created and connected to R-01.
11:03 Similarly, click on Create and Connect button against Outlet Stream 2 and Energy Stream.
11:11 Now, let us arrange the streams properly.
11:15 This completes the stream connections.
11:18 Now we will specify the Calculation Parameters for R-01.
11:24 Go to Calculation Parameters.
11:27 Under Parameters tab, select Reaction Set as Reactor 1.
11:33 Select Calculation Mode as Define Outlet Temperature.
11:37 Change Outlet Temperature to 434 K and press Enter.
11:43 Now we will rename the outlet streams and energy stream from R-01.
11:49 Click on MSTR-003 and rename as Null-01.
11:55 Click on MSTR-004 and rename as S 02.
12:01 Click on ESTR-005 and rename as E 01.
12:07 Let us continue to the flowsheet.
12:10 At the bottom of the main simulation window, go to Mixers/Splitters tab.
12:16 Click on the Stream Mixer displayed.

Drag and drop it to the flowsheet.

12:22 Change the name of the object to MIX-01.
12:26 Under Connections, click on the drop-down against Inlet Stream 1 and select S-03.
12:34 Next, click on drop-down against Inlet Stream 2 and select S-02.
12:42 Now click on Create and Connect button against Outlet Stream.
12:48 A material stream gets created and connected to the Outlet Stream of MIX-01.
12:55 Now, let us arrange the streams properly.
12:59 Click on MSTR-007 and rename as S 04.
13:05 Now, let us finish creating the flowsheet.
13:09 At the bottom of the main simulation window, go to Reactors tab.
13:14 Click on the Conversion Reactor displayed.

Drag and drop it to the flowsheet.

13:20 Change the name of the object to R 02.
13:24 Under Connections, click on drop-down against Inlet Stream and select S 04.
13:32 Click on Create and Connect button against Outlet Stream 1, Outlet Stream 2 and Energy Stream.
13:41 Now, let us arrange the streams properly.
13:45 Let us finish specifying the calculation parameters for R 02.
13:51 Go to Calculation Parameters.
13:53 Under Parameters tab, select the Reaction Set as Reactor-2.
13:59 Select Calculation Mode as Define Outlet Temperature.
14:04 Change Outlet Temperature to 432 Kelvin and press Enter.
14:10 Now, click on MSTR-009 and rename it as Null-02.
14:17 Click on MSTR 010 and rename it as S 05.
14:24 Click on ESTR-011 and rename it as E 02.
14:30 This completes the flowsheet.
14:33 Now, we will run the simulation.
14:36 So, from the toolbar, click on the Solve Flowsheet button.
14:41 When the calculations are completed, click on the S 05 in the flowsheet.
14:47 Go to the Property Editor Window of S 05.

Locate the Results tab.

14:55 Under Compounds tab, check the Amounts tab.
14:59 Change the Basis to Mass Flows.

Check the Mass Flow Rate of all the compounds.

15:07 Here for Ethylene, the mass flow rate is 0.001 kg/second , for Benzene, it is 20.903 kg/second.
15:20 For Ethylbenzene it is 20.252 kg/second and for P-diethylbenzene it is 13.842 kg/s.
15:33 I have tabulated these results in a slide.
