How are oils and waxes expressed in Aspen?
Thread Content
Substances such as oils and waxes do not have fixed molecular formulas, but if one has analytical data for these substances, such as boiling range and viscosity, I would like to know how to represent such substances in Aspen It would be best to send an example.
Oil and wax are general terms; essentially, they are still hydrocarbons. When dealing with fine chemical products in the chemical industry, it is necessary to conduct a full component analysis to input the hydrocarbon molecular formulas and their concentrations for calculation； If kerosene is still to be used, proceed with the ASTM method: after generating the virtual components, treat them as if they were refined products【 Mating].
Specify exactly what it is, its name or molecular formula
