Visual Cue Narration
Slide Number 1

Title Slide

Welcome to this tutorial on simulating a Custom Unit Operation using Scilab.
Slide Number 2

Learning Objective

In this tutorial, we will learn to:


  • Create a custom unit operation using Scilab
  • Calculate the Outlet pressure of product stream
  • Calculate Molar flow rate and Enthalpy
Slide Number 3

System Requirements

To record this tutorial, I am using


  • DWSIM 5. 6 update 8 (Classic UI) and
  • Windows 10

But, this process is identical in Linux, Mac OS X or FOSSEE OS on ARM.

Slide Number 4


Pre-requisites

To practice this tutorial, you should know to-


  • Add components to a flowsheet
  • Select thermodynamic packages
  • Add material streams and specify their properties
Slide Number 5


Prerequisite Tutorials and Files


The prerequisite tutorials are available on our website.

Spoken-tutorial.org.


You can access these tutorials and all the associated files from this site.


You should also have Scilab 5.02 (or higher) installed on your system.

Slide Number 6


Scilab CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation

First let us learn what is Scilab CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation.


It is an unit operation implementation for which the calculations can be entered in Scilab.

More information on this is given in the Additional reading material link of this tutorial.

Slide Number 7


Components: Water, methanol and Ethanol


Property Package: Raoult’s Law


Outlet Pressure: Average of Inlet Stream

We will develop a flowsheet to determine the product stream Temperature, Pressure,


Molar flow rate and Molar enthalpy from a Mixer model created using Scilab.

Slide Number 8


Inlet Stream 1:


Component: Pure Water

Temperature: 300 K

Pressure: 100000 Pa

Mass flow: 10 kg/s


Inlet Stream 2:


Component: Pure Methanol

Temperature: 305 K

Pressure: 150000 Pa

Mass flow: 15 kg/s


Inlet Stream 3:


Component: Pure Ethanol

Temperature: 310 K

Pressure: 200000 Pa

Mass flow: 20 kg/s

Here we give Inlet Stream Conditions of the product stream.

Click on drop down arrow against Product 1


Select Mixed Product.

Click on the drop-down against Product 1 and select Mixed Product.
Point to all the connections. All the connections now are completed.


Now we will write the code to perform the computation.

Click on Open CAPE-OPEN Object Editor Click on Open CAPE-OPEN Object Editor.
Click on SciLab tab. Click on SciLab tab.
Cursor on the interface. First we will get the feed properties of the material streams.


Then we will write the calculation routines.

Type:


f1=getFeedProp(1,"flow")

f2=getFeedProp(2,"flow")

f3=getFeedProp(3,"flow")

Type this code in the Script tab.


This is to read the molar flow rate of the compounds from the inlet material streams.

Cursor to f1, f2 and f3 variables. Here, f1, f2 and f3 are the variables.


They store molar flow rate of the compounds from the inlet material streams.

Cursor to getFeedProp command getFeedProp is the command used to read the specified feed property.
Cursor to 1, 2 and 3 feed port numbers 1, 2 and 3 are the feed port numbers in SciLab to which the material streams in DWSIM is connected.
Cursor to flow keyword flow is the keyword.


flow indicates that components in the streams, has to be stored in f1,f2,f3 in form of an array.

Type:


h1=getFeedProp(1,"enthalpy")

h2=getFeedProp(2,"enthalpy")

h3=getFeedProp(3,"enthalpy")

Type this code in the Script tab.


This is to read the molar enthalpy of the inlet streams from the added inlet material stream.


Here, variables h1, h2 and h3 store the molar enthalpy of the added input material streams.

Cursor to enthalpy keyword enthalpy is the keyword.


It indicate that molar enthalpy of material streams has to be stored in h1, h2 and h3.

Type:


p1=getFeedProp(1,"pressure")

p2=getFeedProp(2,"pressure")

p3=getFeedProp(3,"pressure")

Next, type this code.


This is to read the pressure of the inlet streams from the added inlet material stream.


Here, variables p1, p2 and p3 store the pressures of Water, Methanol and Ethanol streams.

Cursor to pressure keyword pressure is the keyword.


It indicates that the pressure of material streams has to be stored in the variables p1, p2 and p3.

Now we will code the calculation routine
First we will calculate the outlet pressure.


For this let us consider the outlet pressure to be average pressure of all the 3 inlet streams.

p=(p1+p2+p3)/3 Now, type this code.

Outlet pressure is calculated and stored in the variable p.

Now we will calculate the molar flow rate of the compounds in the output stream.
f=f1+f2+f3 Type this code in the Script tab.


Molar flow rate of compounds in the product stream is calculated.


It is stored in the variable f in form of an array.

Now we will calculate the total molar flow rate of the product stream.
totF=sum(f) Type this code in the Script tab.


Molar flow rate of product stream is calculated and stored in the variable totF.

Now we will calculate the enthalpy of the product stream.
h=((h1*f1)+(h2*f2)+(h3*f3))/f Type this code.


Enthalpy of the product stream is calculated and stored in the variable h.

Now we will pass the calculated variables to the Mixed Product material stream.
setProduct(1,totF,f/totF,"pressure",p,"enthalpy",h) Type this code.


setProduct indicates that, variables in the braces are to be passed to the stream in the product.

Click Test At the bottom, click Test.
Point to the tabs. Values stored and calculated in all the variables, are displayed in the Output tab.
Click Close button. Click Close button at the bottom.
Now we will run the simulation.
Click Solve Flowsheet So, from the toolbar, click on Solve Flowsheet button.
Click Mixed Product When the calculations are completed, click on the Mixed Product in the flowsheet.
Point to Property Editor Window


Hover mouse at Input Data

Under Stream Conditions, check Temperature, Pressure, Molar Flow.
Let's summarize.
