Process simulation models can offer significant capabilities for operating personnel to analyze and troubleshoot current performance and to develop optimum responses in a proactive manner. This can increase agility in decision making, improve reliability and lower operating cost. Historically, only engineers have had the knowledge of how to utilize these process models. Limited engineering reso...

This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the co...

This study investigates the performance of co-firing palm kernel shell (PKS) and pulverized coal in a steam power cycle. The process simulation software Aspen Hysys was used simulation. analyzed various emitted combustion product gases. cycle efficiency Power output for each fuel sample blend carried out. provided basis comparison sample. Sample D with mix ratio 80 (coal)-20 came out best havin...

En esta investigación se hizo el diseño y la simulación de un gasificador carbón con captura dióxido carbono para obtención hidrógeno, mediante software Aspen HYSYS versión 9.0; utilizó como materia prima antracítico bituminoso, procedente diferentes regiones Colombia. Las características del carbón, así las condiciones los demás flujos alimentación al reactor, inciden en finales gas producto s...

Exergy analysis is an important tool to identify the improvements in various industrial processes. In this study, existing steam power plant examined based on energy and exergy analyses. The network comprised of two sections, one them used for paddy drying, while other portion operate turbine in-house electricity production. Mass, energy, balances are applied individual equipment plant. modeled...

Consider binary and ternary mixtures of aromatic compounds composed of benzene/toluene and benzene/toluene/p-xylene, respectively. The present study shows how one can apply both mass and energy balance equations in order to understand the separation of such ideal mixtures by distillation. An adiabatic flash distillation problem is solved graphically for a mixture composed of benzene/toluene. Ri...
