Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to this tutorial on simulating a Heat Exchanger in DWSIM.
00:07 In this tutorial, we will learn to: simulate a Heat Exchanger,
00:13 calculate the Outlet stream temperatures,
00:16 calculate Thermal Efficiency and LMTD.
00:20 To record this tutorial, I am using DWSIM 4.3 and Windows 7.
00:28 The process demonstrated in this tutorial is identical in other OS also, such as-

Linux, Mac OS X or FOSSEE OS on ARM.

00:40 To practice this tutorial, you should know how to add components to a flowsheet,
00:47 select thermodynamic packages,
00:50 add material stream and specify their properties.
00:54 The prerequisite tutorials are mentioned on our website.
00:58 You can access these tutorials and all the associated files from this site.
01:04 We will develop a flowsheet to determine the Outlet stream temperatures.
01:09 Here, we give Compounds and Inlet stream conditions.
01:13 Here, we give Heat Exchanger properties and Property package.
01:18 I have already opened DWSIM on my machine.
01:23 Go to File menu and select New Steady-state Simulation.
01:28 Simulation Configuration Wizard window appears.
01:32 At the bottom, click on Next button.
01:36 Now, in the Compounds Search tab, type Methanol.
01:42 Select Methanol from ChemSep database.
01:46 Similarly, add Water.
01:49 At the bottom, click on Next button.
01:53 Now comes Property Packages.
01:56 From Available Property Packages, double-click on Raoult’s Law.
02:01 Then click on Next button.
02:04 We are moved to a new window named Flash Algorithm.
02:08 From Default Flash Algorithm, select Nested Loops(VLE).
02:14 Click on Next button.
02:17 Next option is System of Units.
02:21 Under System of Units, select C5.
02:26 At the bottom, click on Finish button.
02:30 Let us maximize the simulation window for better visibility.
02:35 Now, let’s insert two material stream that enter the Heat Exchanger.
02:41 On the right hand side of the main simulation window, go to Flowsheet Objects.
02:47 In the Filter List tab, type Material Stream.
02:52 From the displayed list, drag and drop a Material Stream to the Flowsheet.
02:58 Click on the Material StreamMSTR-000” to view its properties.
03:04 Let’s change the name of this stream to Water In.
03:08 Now we will specify the Water In stream properties.
03:13 Go to Input Data.
03:15 Select Flash Spec as Temperature and Pressure (TP), if not already selected.
03:21 By default, Temperature and Pressure are already selected as Flash Spec.
03:27 Change Temperature to 10 degC and press Enter.
03:32 Change Pressure to 1 bar and press Enter.
03:37 Change Mass Flow to 15000 kg per hour and press Enter.
03:44 Now, let us specify the feed stream compositions.
03:49 Under Composition, choose the Basis as Mole Fractions, if not already selected.
03:56 By default, Mole Fractions is selected as Basis.
04:01 Now for Methanol, enter the Amount as 0 and press Enter.
04:08 Similarly, for Water, enter it as 1 and press Enter.
04:15 On the right, click on this green tick to Accept Changes.
04:20 Now drag and drop another Material Stream to the flowsheet.
04:25 Click on Material StreamMSTR-001” to view its properties.
04:30 Let’s change the name of this stream to Methanol In.
04:35 Now we will specify the Methanol In stream properties.
04:40 Go to Input Data.
04:42 Select Flash Spec as Temperature and Pressure(TP).
04:46 By default, Temperature and Pressure are again already selected as Flash Spec.
04:42 Change Temperature to 80 degC and press Enter.
04:58 Change Pressure to 5 bar and press Enter.
05:03 Change Mass Flow to 25000 kg/h and press Enter.
05:11 Now, let us specify the Methanol In stream compositions.
05:17 Under Composition, choose the Basis as Mole Fractions, if not already selected.

By default, Mole Fractions is selected as Basis.

05:29 Now for Methanol, enter the Amount as 1 and press Enter.
05:36 Similarly, for Water, enter it as 0 and press Enter.
05:43 On the right, click on this green tick to Accept Changes.
05:48 Now, let’s insert two more material streams that exit the Heat Exchanger.
05:54 To do that, let us drag one Material Stream.
05:58 Let us now arrange it.
06:00 Leave that stream as unspecified.
06:03 We will change the name of this stream to Water Out.
06:07 Next, we will insert another Material Stream.
06:11 Let us once again arrange it.
06:14 Leave that stream as unspecified.
06:18 And name this stream as Methanol Out.
06:22 Now, let us insert a Heat Exchanger into the flowsheet.
06:27 Go to the Flowsheet Objects.
06:30 In the Filter list tab, type Heat Exchanger.
06:35 Click on the Heat Exchanger displayed.
06:39 Drag and drop it to the flowsheet.
06:42 Let us now arrange it as required for better visibility.
06:47 We are now ready to specify the Heat Exchanger. Let's click on it.
