Selection of property methods for Aspen reactors
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experienced experts here: when working on the combustion reactions of different types of substances, I always have trouble choosing the appropriate property methods, and the simulation results are often incorrect. It’s simple when all the reactants are gases; running the process using SRK or any other method works fine, and the results obtained from different methods don’t differ much. However, when the reactants contain liquids or solids, property-based methods are not a good choice; I usually opt for NRTl, but it often fails to work, and only occasionally does it function correctly. What methods does everyone use?
The reaction itself cannot have its results determined solely by simulation software
Of course, it may differ from reality, but it can serve as a guide for design
