Lab Practice
A stream containing 15% ethane, 10% propane, 70% i-
butane and 5% n-butane at 10°C and atmospheric pressure,
and a flow rate of 100kmole/hr. This stream is to be
compressed to 3.5 bara and then cooled to 0°C. The
resulting cooled stream is separated using a flash column
into vapor and liquid stream. Neglect the pressure drop inside
the cooler. Find the composition of vapor and liquid streams.

Material Balance on Reactive Processes
Stoichiometric coefficient (ν) is the number appearing
before the symbol for each compound in the balanced
equation for a chemical reaction.
For the reaction CH4 +2O2 = CO2+2H2O
CH4 =-1
aA  bB  cC  dD O2=-2
CO2=+1
a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients. H2O=+2

By convention:
 A stoichiometric coefficient for a reactant is negative
 A stoichiometric coefficient for a product is positive
 A stoichiometric coefficient for an inert, solvent, or
catalyst is zero. 27

Extent of reaction
The extent of reaction (ξ) is the amount of moles (or molar flow rate) that gets
converted in a given reaction.
The extent of reaction is a quantity that characterizes the reaction and simplifies
our calculations. For a continuous
process at steady state ni  ni 0  i  

Class Practice with Aspen Hysys
Solve the following question using Aspen Hysys
1. Report the heat duty required for mixing a cold water stream (100 kg/s at 250C) and a hot
water stream (150 kg/s 80 0C) then heating the streams to saturated vapor at 10 bar.
2. An equimolar mixture of ethanol and water (100 kg/hr @ 25 0C and 1.5 bar) is fed to
distillation column equipped with 15 plates. Using shortcut distillation column in Aspen
hysys find out:
a. top plate temperature if ethanol is separated up to 90 percent
b. bottom plate temperature
c. minimum reflux value
3. 100 kgmol/hr at STP of fuel gas of following composition by volume is burned with air
CH4 = 25% CH4+2O2=CO2+H2O
H2 = 45% H2+0.5O2=H2O
CO2 = 3% CO+0.5O2=CO2
CO = 10% C2H4+3O2=2CO2+2H2O
O2 = 1%
C2H4 = 1% Total theoratical
N2 = 15% O2=50+45*0.5+10*0.5+1*3=80.5
Calculate: Air =xO2/0.21=383.33
1. Theoretical air required for complete combustion.
2. How much amount of air will be fed for 50 % excess air.
3. What is the effect on outlet temperature of flue gases in both cases?
