Can a HeatX be used to simulate a tubular falling-film evaporator without using it in combination with a flash evaporator?
Thread Content
I want to simulate a tubular falling-film evaporator in Aspen Plus. I first tried using a HeatX unit together with a Flash2 unit, but encountered many problems. I was wondering if anyone experienced could give some advice – is it possible to carry out the simulation using only a heat exchanger, without a flash vessel? Thank you!
Use HeatX with Flsah2: first for heat exchange, then adiabatic flashing. But using Heat won’t work; it’s not possible to simulate the process of the evaporator!
