Can petrochemical reactions be simulated using RYield in Aspen PLUS?
Thread Content
I am working on my undergraduate thesis, and my knowledge of the petrochemical industry is quite limited; I’m not very good at using Aspen either. Can RYield in Aspen PLUS be used to simulate petrochemical reactions? While studying *aspen, I saw that RYield allows for the input of petro characterization, so I wanted to give it a try. For example: if you want to simulate a hydrogenation reaction, and you have parameters such as the TBP values of the feed oil, as well as those of the product oil; if your goal is merely to simulate mass conservation, can RYield achieve this? If it’s possible, how should I go about it?
I am also very interested in learning about the calculation of petro characterization in yield reactors. Who has example problems?
