Mole Fraction(Ethanol): 0.5 Mole Fraction(1-propanol): 0.5 Temperature: 30 degree C Pressure: 3.5 bar Property Package: Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) |
In this tutorial, using DWSIM, we will generate:
1) Txy plot at a constant pressure of 1.013 bar 2) xy plot for the obtained Txy data 3) Pxy plot at a constant temperature of 750C
Here we give compounds, inlet stream conditions and property package. |
