Estimating Pure Component Properties in Hysys
Exercise DP.1:
Estimating Pure Component Properties in Hysys
Workshop Report Requirements:
1. Create a graph of the vapor pressure in psia of cyclohexanol, cyclohexanol and high boiler as a function of temperature from 50 to 450 F. Print and submit these graphs.
2. Compare the pure component critical properties ( Critical Temperature, Critical Pressure) given in the design problem statement against the values used by Hysys. ( To view properties of a component, View the Basis Environment and then click the component of interest. You can now View the component properties. Include this comparison in your report.
To accomplish this, it will be necessary to choose the appropriate base property package ( to select the thermodynamic property models to be used in the simulation) , add the components, and finally either tabulate or plot the desired data as a function of temperature. It should be noted that the one component, the high boiler, is not listed in the Pure Component Library. So we will have to create a hypothetical compound similar to the highboiler and generate its pure component properties.
Instructions for Preparing the Input to this Problem:
1) Open Hysys and from the File Menu, choose New / Case. This will open the Simulation Basis Manager as shown in Figure 1.

2) First, the desired fluid package ( ie. thermodynamic models) needs to selected. This is accomplished by clicking the Add button. The Fluid Package: Basis 1 screen will appear. From the list of packages choose the Wilson method as it is known to be accurate for this system. The Vapor model should be set to SRK ( Soave-Redlich-Kwong) as the system is not ideal. Note that the default selection is Ideal. If you click on this cell you can change the selection. The value entry area is located at the top of the wndow. There is a small pull down arrow which shows you available options. Select SRK from this option set.
