Computer Aided Design Module for a Binary Distillation Column
نویسنده
چکیده
A Computer Aided Design (CAD) module was developed for determining some design parameters for a binary distillation column using the Lewis-Sorrel method and Visual Basic. The module made use of a data bank containing physical and thermodynamic properties of 18 substances. A sample design problem was solved using the module. Results from the module and manual calculations were very close.

DEVELOPING A NEW INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR DISTILLATION COLUMN SIMULATION
The simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. In this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified Kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. The effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. The results show sig...
