Simulation of A PFR For The Saponification Process

This document summarizes a simulation of a plug flow reactor (PFR) for the saponification process. The flowsheet shows ethyl acetate (EA) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) mixing and flowing through the PFR to produce a product. Temperature, pressure, molar flows, and other properties are reported for the input and output streams. Warnings are generated regarding unreasonable vapor pressure calculations and missing enthalpy parameters that could impact the simulation results.
