How to use Aspen for material balance?
Thread Content
I need to prepare a process package for a pilot-scale production of gas-phase polyethylene, and I’m struggling with the material balance calculations as I’ve never done this before. I’m not sure how to approach the material balance for the reactor; could the experts on the forum give me some advice? :Q
Material balance is the most fundamental; it should be possible to calculate it manually without using any software. You don’t know how to simulate the reaction, right?
Yes, I don’t know how to simulate it. For example, when producing 25 kg/h of polyethylene, how do you calculate the material balance?
