Revision as of 12:21, 16 October 2017

Visual Cue
Narration
Slide 1
Opening Slide
Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Introduction to Flowsheeting in DWSIM
Slide 2
Learning Objectives
In this tutorial,

We will simulate a mixer

Follow it up with a flash separator

Learn how to give a two phase feed

Slide 3
System Requirements
To record this tutorial, I am using DWSIM 3.4.
Slide 4
Prerequisites
To practice this tutorial, you should have an exposure to DWSIM.

The prerequisite tutorials are mentioned on our website, spoken hyphen tutorial dot org.

Blank DWSIM window, already made to the required size
Let me open DWSIM.

I have already opened a file flow-begin with two material streams.

Select Raoult’s law and CGS System
I have selected Raoult’s law and the CGS system.

I went through file menu and the open option to get this.

Let me close this.

This file is available at our spoken tutorial website.

You may download this and use it.

Or you can manually enter the required information.

You can see two streams Inlet1 and Inlet2 in the flowsheet canvas.

Slide 5
The next slide summarises the contents of this file.

When we mix these streams, we get equimolar composition.

We have chosen these values to easily verify the calculations of DWSIM.

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.

Click on Specification
At the top of the Properties tab, locate Specification.

Click on it.

Press down arrow and click Pressure and Vapor Fraction
Press the down arrow and choose Pressure and Vapor Fraction.
Scroll down and Enter 1
Scroll down and locate Molar Fraction Vapor Phase.

Enter 1 as its value.

That is, the entire stream is a vapor.

Select Inlet2
In a similar way, make Inlet2 to have 50% vapor fraction.
Click and drag Mixer to flowsheet
Now let us insert a mixer to the flowsheet.

Locate the Mixer from the object palette.

It is the third entry.

Click and drag it to the flowsheet.

Click Appearance tab
Let us change the name of the mixer now.

Click on the Appearance tab.

Type Mixer
Delete the default name and enter Mixer.
Click and drag Material Stream to the flowsheet
Now let us insert an output stream for the mixer.

Click on Material Stream and drag it to the flowsheet.

We will close the automatic pop up, and not enter anything.

Because, all output streams should be left unspecified.

Type mixer-out
We will change the name of this stream to mixer-out.
Click Mixer
Let me connect the streams to the mixer.

Let me click the mixer once.

Click Inlet Stream 1
Properties show up in the Selected Object window.

You can see that the mixer has up to 6 inlet streams.

Let us click on Inlet Stream 1.

Choose Inlet1
A down arrow appears, indicating a menu.

Click this arrow. vapor

Choose Inlet1.

Click Inlet Stream 2 and Choose Inlet2
Similarly, connect Inlet2 at Inlet Stream 2.
Click Connected to Outlet and choose mixer-out
Locate the outlet port, mentioned as Connected to Outlet here.

Click it and choose mixer-out.

We can move the streams to make them better aligned.
Hover mouse at Calculator
The mixer is red, as it is not calculated yet.

To the right of the configure simulation tab is calculator.

It has several options.

Click on Play button
The first one is the play button, to activate the solver.

Press it.

Click on Recalculate button
Two buttons to the right of this is for Recalculate action.

Click this button.

The mixer has become blue now.It means that the calculations are completed.

Click on mixer-out and hover mouse at Properties
Now click on mixer-out stream.

We can see its calculated values in the Properties tab.

We can verify that its composition is as expected. Double click Mixture

It has equimolar composition.

Click and drag Separator Vessel to the flowsheet
Now let us insert a flash separator.

Let us scroll down the Object Palette.

Let us scroll down and locate the Separator Vessel.

It can be used to simulate VLE, LLE and VLLE systems.

Click and drag it to the flowsheet.

Click and drag Material Stream to the flowsheet
We need to connect two output streams to the separator.

Let us drag the material stream.

We will leave it unspecified, as its properties are to be calculated.

Type Vapour
We will name it as Vapour.
Type Liquid
Similarly, create another stream and name it as Liquid.
Connect mixer-out stream to Inlet stream1 port


Let us now connect the streams to the Separator.

In the first input port, we will connect mixer-out.

We can connect a total of five more input streams.

The separator mixes all the streams and separates.

As a matter of fact, a separate mixer is not really required.

It also has a port to connect an energy stream.

As we can see.

These ideas will be taken up in the assignment section.

Connect Vapour stream to Vapour outlet port
Let us connect the Vapour stream to the Vapour outlet port.
Connect Liquid stream to Liquid outlet port
Similarly, connect the Liquid stream.

Once again, we can move the items for better alignment.

Hover the mouse at Recalculate
Notice that DWSIM completed the calculations automatically.

You are free to press the Recalculate button also.

In fact you should do this whenever you are in doubt.

We now check whether the vapor and liquid are split properly in the separator.
Click Vapor stream and hover mouse at Molar compoition
Let us look at the vapor phase mole fractions of the stream Vapour.

The mole fraction of Benzene is 0.54.

Click mixer-out and hover mouse at Molar compoition
Let us check whether this is in agreement with what mixer-out has.

You can see that DWSIM automatically displays vapor value

benzene mole fraction is 0.54.

This is an indirect evidence that the Separator is working as expected.

We can do a check on the working of the Mixer also.

You can see the Mixture composition is equimolar, as expected.

We will postpone a few other checks to the Assignment Section.
Click on File and Click Save As
Let us save this file now using the save as option.
Type flow-end
I will save it as flow-end.

I suggest that you keep saving your work frequently.

Let me summarise.
Summary slide
We defined a simple flowsheet.

Explained how to create mixed feed.

Introduced mixer and separator.

Showed how to connect them.

Explained how to simulate.

Let me give some assignments.
Assignment 1 slide
The assignment in this slide has to do with mass balances.

I use blue colour to indicate streams and equipment.

Let us go to the next Assignment.
Assignment 2 slide
You have to verify mole fractions as mentioned in this slide.
Assignment 3 slide
The third assignment has to do with the Separator.

Recall that we mentioned that it could be used to mix streams.

Remove the mixer and mixer-out and try it out.

Assignment 4 slide
In the next assignment, you will do the separation at a higher temperature.
Click Separator
Click on Separator.Lets scroll up.
Click on Override separation temperature
Let us change Override separation temperature to true.
Type 100
In the resulting field, change the value to 100.
Click and drag Energy Stream to the flowsheet
Bring Energy stream from Object Palette to the Flowsheet. This is a new stream.

Connect this stream to the Energy Stream of the Separator that I showed earlier.

Simulate and analyse your results.

This is summarised in the slide.

About the Spoken Tutorial project slide
This video summarises the Spoken Tutorial project.

If you do not have good bandwidth, you may download and watch it.

Spoken Tutorial workshops slide
We conduct workshops using Spoken Tutorials.

Give certificates.

Please contact us.
