Simple distillation separation of n-pentane and isopentane
Thread Content
The FLASH results are within tolerance, but they may be unsatisfactory because an extrapolated EOS vapor volume root was used for property calculations (T= 17.0550 K, P= 2.0000D+05 Pa). The results regarding the PV flashing distillate might be unreliable
Your stress level seems too high, right? Try using 5–10 bar, with a full condenser
Is it the insufficient pressure in the tower top condenser?
Generally, these distillation simulation processes use values from literature; due to differences in composition and the absence of certain parameters, it is difficult to make proper settings, which can lead to errors
Isn’t the boiling point of isopentane lower than that of n-pentane? It’s true that isopentane is a lighter component
I misread it; V9 can run and the results are correct. What equation of state did you use?
Thank you, there’s no problem now. I’m performing a sensitivity analysis; the products obtained through strict distillation do not meet the standards
