I would like to ask about the tray efficiency in Aspen
Thread Content
I would like to ask: in Aspen, if the tray efficiency is not specified, is it set at 100%, or is it defaulted to 70%? I’ve been a bit confused lately.
It should be 100%, right? The original poster can try changing the plate efficiency from its default value to 1 to see what changes occur in the output, and then change it back to 0.7 to see how the composition of the output changes. I believe that will give an answer. I’m sorry; I’m still learning this myself, so this is the only method I can suggest for now: lol. This post was last edited by harveychen on 2007-12-14 19:03]
Regarding the issue of tray efficiency, simulation software generally uses default values. In general simulation software, when performing regression calculations, the preset value for tray efficiency differs between the simplified calculation mode and the precise calculation mode; in the precise calculation mode, this value can usually be modified manually. The tray efficiency is an empirical value, which differs from the software’s internal default setting. For example, when establishing actuarial models for design patterns, the plate efficiency falls within a certain range; yet in practice, it is often possible to exceed this range. For example, the maximum possible value for the default plate efficiency is 100%, but in practice, there are indeed certain tower systems designed with an efficiency of over 100% – it depends on the specific circumstances.
