Seeking advice on simulating solution stratification using ASPEN? ? ?
Thread Content
The raw materials are I2, HI, and H2O in a molar ratio of 7:2:14. The experimental observation is that a stratification occurs, with water in the upper layer and HI and I2 phases in the lower layer. I used ASPEN’s Decanter module to simulate stratification, but it indicated that no stratification occurred, with only 1 phase... Does ASPEN not have the capability to simulate such situations? Is there a problem with my settings? ?
:loveliness:
Original poster: The core of the problem is actually the issue related to the binary interaction parameters. You can check whether in A+ there are binary interaction parameters for I2, HI, and Water. I took a look just now, and it seems that there are no such binary interaction parameters for this system in A+, so naturally the calculation results cannot match the experimental results! It should be noted that any software is merely a tool; it cannot solve all our problems. We shouldn’t place undue trust in any software, otherwise it will be we who suffer as a result!
Thank you to the person above – where can I find information regarding the binary interaction parameters? . .
