How can I query the names of substances in Aspen?

2009-03-15View Original

Thread Content

In the simulated alcohol process, I need to enter the name of the raw material, cassava, but I am unable to input the English name of cassava in the Component name field. I would like to ask those enthusiastic marine enthusiasts: how can one find out the names of various substances in Aspen? Or does this Component Name come from that chemical dictionary or manual? If we know that, it will be easier to enter various substances (mainly raw material mixtures). Thank you all :lol

Is cassava a nonconventional or conventional component in the component settings? If it’s nonconventional, just come up with a name of your own.

I’m paying close attention to this and hope those with more knowledge can offer some guidance. I’m also confused and don’t understand it.

Cassava shouldn’t be one of the components; a+ cannot contain such a component. Its composition must be quite complex, possibly involving the extraction of natural compounds. A+ is not universal – it can’t simulate everything.

For example, ethanol and water that you use can be found as individual components in Aspen, but not as a mixture. In other words, you simply need to select the various components that make up the mixture; your raw materials are these components in certain proportions, and there’s no need to introduce some \"cassava\" substance. Don’t complicate simple issues. Moreover, the composition of cassava varies depending on the region of origin, so it’s not appropriate to use such a general term as \"cassava\" for definition
