Point to the Inlet1 and Inlet2 streams | You can see two streams Inlet1 and Inlet2 in the flowsheet canvas. |
Let us go back to the slides. | |
Slide Number 6
Components: Benzene & Toluene Inlet Stream 1: Mole Fraction(Benzene): 0.8 Mole Fraction(Toluene): 0.2 Molar Flow Rate: 100 mol/s Temperature: 25 degree C Pressure: 1 atm Inlet Stream 2: Mole Fraction(Benzene): 0.2 Mole Fraction(Toluene): 0.8 Molar Flow Rate: 100 mol/s Temperature: 25 degree C Pressure: 1 atm |
It summarises the contents of this file.
When we mix these streams, we get equimolar composition. |
Let us go back to DWSIM. | |
Select Inlet 1 | We will now modify the streams, so as to have vapor in them.
Select Inlet 1. |
Point to Property Editor Window. | On the left, go to the Property Editor Window. |
Go to Input Data.
Stream Conditions >> Flash Spec >> Pressure and Vapor Fraction. (PVF) |
Go to Input Data.
Under Stream Conditions tab, select Flash Spec as Pressure and Vapor Fraction. (PVF) |
Vapor Phase Mole Fraction >> 1
|
Type Vapor Phase Mole Fraction as 1 and press Enter.
Here the entire stream is a vapor. |
In a similar way, make Inlet2 to have 50% vapor fraction. | |
Select Inlet2 | Select Inlet 2. |
Stream Conditions >> Flash Spec >> Pressure and Vapor Fraction. (PVF) | Under Stream Conditions tab, select Flash Spec as Pressure and Vapor Fraction. (PVF) |
Vapor Phase Mole Fraction >> 0.5 | Type Vapor Phase Mole Fraction as 0.5 and press Enter. |
Now let us insert a mixer to the flowsheet. | |
Point to Mixers/Splitters | At the bottom of the main simulation window, go to Mixers/Splitters. |
Click and drag Stream Mixer to the flowsheet | From the displayed list, drag and drop a Stream Mixer to the Flowsheet |
Click MIX-002 | Click on the mixer named MIX-002. |
Type Mixer
Press Enter. |
Let's change the name of MIX-002 to Mixer.
Press Enter. |
Click and drag Material Stream to the flowsheet | Now let us insert an output stream for the mixer. |
Click on Streams tab. | |
Click and drag Material Stream to the flowsheet | From the displayed list, drag and drop a Material Stream to the Flowsheet. |
We will leave that stream as unspecified. | |
Type mixer-out
Press Enter. |
Let’s change the name of this stream to mixer-out.
Press Enter. |
Click Mixer | We are now ready to specify the Mixer.
So let’s click on it. |
Point to the tab on the left. | On the left, we can see a tab displaying properties related to the Mixer. |
Point to the Connections tab | Here we can see that the mixer has up to 6 inlet streams. |
Go to Connections
Click on drop down arrow against Inlet Stream 1 Select Inlet1. |
Under Connections, click on the drop-down against Inlet Stream 1.
Select Inlet1. |
Click on drop down arrow against Inlet Stream 2
Select Inlet2. |
Click on the drop-down against Inlet Stream 2 and select Inlet2. |
Click on drop down arrow against Outlet Stream
Select mixer-out |
Click on the drop-down against Outlet Stream and select mixer-out. |
We can move the streams to make them better aligned. | |
Cursor to the mixer | The mixer is red, as it is not simulated yet. |
Click on the mixer. | Click on the mixer. |
Cursor to Calculation Parameters
Cursor to Pressure Calculation |
Go to Calculation Parameters.
Click on the drop-down against Pressure Calculation. We can see there are three different modes of Pressure Calculation:
|
Point to Inlet Minimum | Select Inlet Minimum if outlet pressure has to be minimum of all inlet streams. |
Point to Inlet Average | Select Inlet Average if outlet pressure has to be average of all inlet streams. |
Point to Inlet Maximum | Select Inlet Maximum if outlet pressure has to be maximum of all inlet streams. |
Here both the inlet streams are at 1 atm pressure.
So, the Pressure Calculation mode will not matter here. By default, Inlet Minimum is selected, we will leave it unchanged. | |
Now we will run the simulation. | |
Click on Solve Flowsheet button | So, click on the Solve Flowsheet button on the toolbar. |
Point to the Mixer | The mixer has become blue now.
It means that the calculations are completed. |
Click on mixer-out and hover mouse at Properties
