    Hydrate inhibitors selection and injection rate

    in my opinion, there are so many different conditions, formers, structures and compositions (say as example hydrate formation at sea, GHSZ) and probably errors differ from case to case, anyway for the mentioned gas well composition I think the values provided by apetri are correct (tested...

    Inlet Separator Sizing for a Gas Processing Plant with Feed Gas in Dense Phase

    there are several papers discussing these applications, comparing different design types, etc. see for example "High Pressure Gas-Liquid Separation: An Experimental Study on Separator Performance of Natural Gas Streams at Elevated Pressures" the authors came to the conclusion that inline...

    hydrate inhibition, glycol (MEG) and salts with Prode software

    with hydrates I have used CPA electrolyte which (in Prode Properties) reduces to the CPA PR in the absence of electrolytes giving the advantage of one model for MEG & salts... you may find some numbers here, "http://www.prode.com/en/hydrate.htm" with a different method (manual) you sum up...

    Heat exchanger duty in upset case

    20:22 -> 20:31 nine minutes to read the post, think about and give a detailed answer... that' really amazing !

    water content in natural gas

    the Mcketta and Wehe chart gives maximum content of vater in vapor phase at specified temperature and pressure, additional water will condense as free water. The reported difference may depend from several reasons 1) gas not saturated with water 2) errors in sampling, measurements etc. 3)...

    Bottled nitrogen cooling due to JT effect

    Morten, I appreciate your efforts to validate the results, with standard models you should be able to replicate (within the tolerance allowed by different databases) the values which I calculated with Prode Properties (see my previous post) results for Tin -30C Pin 4250 Psig Pout 0 Psig...

    Bottled nitrogen cooling due to JT effect

    Morten, you may google for T-S or equivalent diagrams of nitrogen, there is even a specific page in wikipedia with a step by step example of how to evaluate JT effect with a T-S diagram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect if you wish to simulate the process (solving a H-P flash...

    Bottled nitrogen cooling due to JT effect

    Cylinders are utilized daily in thousands of industries, http://www.lindepremiumproducts.com/internet.lg.lsg.usa/en/images/psa_gaseous_nitrogen892_21857.pdf one can ask directly the supplier, also it seems strange (to me) the idea to run a simulator to calculate JT without keeping in account...

    Bottled nitrogen cooling due to JT effect

    I must agree with xeng, you do not need a simulator to calculate dT for nitrogen but basic knowledge of thermodynamics and a table of enthalpies or a mollier chart (available in most textbooks). In addition you must take in account heat transfer mechanisms, may be you do not have a sufficient...

    Time to transfer a certain amount of mass between to vessels (Liquid butane to gas+liquid butane)

    I agree with Zdas04, you need to select a suitable method and integrate in time domain, by the way, I would guess from your comment about pressure drop correlations that your knowledge in this field is limited, microgravity influences mainly two phases flow, see for example Measurements and...

    adsorption of co2 from gas(CH4,C2H6,C3H8,C4H10...) using methanol like solvent

    you already have the answer, so, why ask ? If you need some numbers, sure you'll get numbers :-))

    adsorption of co2 from gas(CH4,C2H6,C3H8,C4H10...) using methanol like solvent

    I would definitely NOT use hysys, there are much better alternatives, for some CO2-Methanol VLE see http://jcsp.org.pk/PublishedVersion/6d677561-7384-4903-ae49-9aa6f9e56df3Manuscript%20no%203,%201st%20gally%20proof%20of%209142%20_Hiua%20Daraei_.pdf

    process simulation with Excel 64 bits, is the upgrade worth the cost ?

    since you are posting on a forum for process engineers I presume you mean the advantages solving process operations, for most operations (as flash operations, columns, phase envelope, pipelines etc.) PRODE PROPERTIES 64 bits runs about twice as fast as 32 bits versions on my Excel 2010, also...

    Solid fugacity ( multiphase equilibria ) in Prode Properties

    I am evaluating the solid fugacity model available in Prode Properties for multiphase equilibria, my field of application would be mixtures of hydrocarbons with CO2, H2S etc. I need to estimate freezing points (or, in general, problematic conditions), which are the main limits (which I should...
