I need help understanding how to set lubricant parameters in ASPEN for heat exchanger calculations
Thread Content
Help: I want to calculate the heat exchange area of an oil cooler, but I’m not sure how to set the physical property parameters for the lubricating oil. The known physical properties of this lubricating oil are as follows: In the design calculations for lubrication systems, the density can be taken as 0.88 kg/L, while the specific heat capacity can be used at 1.87–1.88 KJ/(kg·℃). I would appreciate some guidance on how to set the physical property parameters for lubricating oils in ASPEN. Thank you!
Same question: are there any experts who can offer some advice? Such as lubricants like L-CKD 100.
In heat exchanger calculations, in addition to density and heat capacity data, data on the viscosity-temperature relationship of the lubricating oil as well as its thermal conductivity are also required.
