Material balance for methanol synthesis
Thread Content
I’m graduating this year, and my graduation project is related to methanol synthesis. I’m stuck on the calculation part; there are papers from previous seniors, but I don’t understand how the data was obtained. So I’m seeking help
Send over any data that you can’t understand.
We’re now moving on to equipment calculations. I have chosen a shell-and-tube synthesis tower. The issue lies in determining how many heat exchange tubes to use. Thank you for your response
First, you need to know how many cubic meters of catalyst need to be loaded By selecting an appropriate height-to-diameter ratio and heat exchange area based on the amount of catalyst loaded, it is possible to calculate the dimensions and number of heat exchange tubes required
Okay, then what is the calculation of the tube sheets and supports related to? Thank you for your reply
