Course Description

This is course on Process Simulation will show you how to model, manipulate and report thermodynamic, transport, physical and chemical properties of substances.

You will learn about:

• Physical Property Environment
• Physical Property Method & Method Assistant
• Fluid and Property Packages
• Physical property input, modeling, estimation and regression
• Thermodynamic Properties (Material/Energy balances and Thermodynamic Processes)
• Transport Properties for (Mass/Heat/Momentum Transfer)
• Equilibrium Properties (Vapor-Liquid, Liquid-Liquid, etc...)
• Getting Results (Plots, Graphs, Tables)

This is an excellent way to get started with Aspen Plus. Understanding the physical property environment will definitively help you in the simulation and flowsheet creation!

This is a "workshop-based" course, there is about 50% theory and about 50% practice!

At the end of the Course:

You should be able to understand the importance of the Physical Property Environment and effect in other Simulations. You will be able to model several physical and chemical properties such as thermodynamic and transport properties.

• Select different databanks/databases included in Aspen Tech
• Change important Property Parameters
• Setup a component list with existing and non-existing material
• Model non-existent components
• Select the most convenient Property Method based on several factors (products, industry, applications, etc)
• Get to know the Ideal, Equation of State (EOS) and Activity Models included in Aspen Plus
• Get Pure and Binary Interaction Data
• Add Property Sets, which displays other type of variables not set by default by Aspen Plus
• Use the Analysis tools: Model Pure, Binary, Ternary and Mixture Properties
• Plot relevant data
