1-4 Engineering: Physical Operations

The document discusses the engineering capabilities of the HYSYS software including its integrated steady state and dynamic modeling. It allows simultaneous access and display of process information in various formats and automatic updating. Third party options can also be linked. The engineering section will cover unit operations, templates, columns, optimization, utilities, and dynamics in both steady state and dynamic modeling.

The design of the HYSYS interface is consistent, if not integral, with this
approach to modeling. Access to information is the most important
aspect of successful modeling, with accuracy and capabilities accepted
as fundamental requirements. Not only can you access whatever
information you need when you need it, but the same information can
be displayed simultaneously in a variety of locations. Just as there is no
standardized way to build a model, there is no unique way to look at
results. HYSYS uses a variety of methods to display process information
- individual property views, the PFD, Workbook, Databook, graphical
Performance Profiles, and Tabular Summaries. Not only are all of these
display types simultaneously available, but through the object-oriented
design, every piece of displayed information is automatically updated
whenever conditions change.
The inherent flexibility of HYSYS allows for the use of third party design
options and custom-built unit operations. These can be linked to HYSYS
through OLE Extensibility.
This Engineering section covers the various unit operations, template
and column sub-flowsheet models, optimization, utilities, and
dynamics. Since HYSYS is an integrated steady state and dynamic
modeling package, the steady state and dynamic modeling capabilities
of each unit operation are described successively, thus illustrating how
the information is shared between the two approaches. In addition to
the Physical operations, there is a chapter for Logical operations, which
are the operations that do not physically perform heat and material
balance calculations, but rather, impart logical relationships between
the elements that make up your process.
The following is a brief definition of categories used in this volume:
Term Definition
Physical Operations Governed by thermodynamics and mass/energy balances, as
well as operation-specific relations.
Logical Operations The Logical Operations presented in this volume are primarily
used in Steady State mode to establish numerical relationships
between variables. Examples include the Adjust and Recycle.
There are, however, several operations such as the
Spreadsheet and Set operation which can be used in steady
state and Dynamic mode.
