Problems with the actual boiling point test
Thread Content
1 When using Aspen or ChemCAD to simulate the atmospheric and vacuum distillation of crude oil, it is necessary to enter data on the light-end components; for example, the volume fraction of these light-end components must be provided. Where can this data be obtained? Was it also obtained by conducting a boiling point test? 2 Also requires the input of API GRAVITY data, which, like the previous data, is obtained from experiments as well? At this point, there is another option: SPECIFIC GRAVITY. If you choose this option, you simply need to enter a value. Is this value calculated by dividing (mass/volume)? 3 If it is obtained from a true boiling point test, how is it done exactly? This post was last edited by huanglei on 2009-2-4 21:09.]
Has the original poster solved their problem? I encountered the same problem as well; I came here to learn* it
