What is the difference between TBP and NBP that we use when defining virtual components? ? Could you explain it? ?
Search this discussion forum for posts regarding the definition of virtual components. Additionally, the sections in the Aspen manual that deal with component definitions should be studied carefully; some of the terms are clearly not translated by chemical engineering professionals. It’s fine to use your own expertise to figure them out.
TBP and NBP – please look them up by yourself; I’ve been too busy lately. TBP (true boiling point) refers to the actual boiling point, which is determined using a small two-column apparatus (a distillation unit for determining the true boiling point of crude oil). NBP (Normal boiling point): Data on the normal boiling point; you can look it up online.
NBP is the boiling point of the unknown component, while TBP represents a different temperature corresponding to the assay
