Title: ASPEN HYSYS PROBLEM - OCTOBER 3, 2017
Post by: itsmaemae on October 03, 2017, 08:52:35 AM

HELLO! IM A CHEMICAL ENGINNERING STUDENT IN NEED OF SOME HELP IN AN ASPEN HYSYS SIMULATION PROBLEM.

MY CAPSTONE PROJECT/THESIS IS ABOUT PRODUCING ACETIC ACID FROM THE OXIDATION OF ACETALDEHYDE AND UPON SIMULATION I USED THE PLUG FLOW REACTOR. MY SIMULAION IS NOT FINISHED YET BECAUSE I ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM IN MY REACTOR. WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT ONLY A VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF ACETIC ACID WAS PRODUCED (ABOUT 1876 KILOGRAM PER HOUR) WHILE MY ACETALDEHYDE IS 13,613 KILOGRAM/HOUR. ONLY VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF ACETALDEHYDE WAS CONVERTED TO ACETIC ACID.

HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME.  :'( :'( :'( ???
