Heat loss settings in Aspen
Thread Content
The RGibbs reactor simulates the gasification process of coal; how can the heat loss in the reactor be set to 0.5%?
Reducing the calorific value of coal by 0.5% will suffice.
The calorific value of my coal isn’t entered by me; it’s calculated using the default method. Do you need a calculator?
It is best to enter the calorific value of coal yourself, using the measured value. Or you can use the Dulong formula to calculate the heat value, and then enter it into Aspen yourself
Okay, I understand. Thank you!
Could you give me the standard Dulong formula? I’ve been searching for it for ages, but all the versions I find seem different
Higher heating value on a dry basis = 33.86*C% + 144.4*(H% – O%/8) + 9.428*S% KJ/g
