Design methodology
The approach in designing this reboiler was based on the references from “Chemical Engineering
Design” by Sinnott and Towler (2009), “process Heat Transfer” by Kern (1893). The figure 1 below
shows the algorithm of design the reboiler:
Basis of design
Before start performing the design, some essential data are required. Therefore, the physical
property and the operational condition of the inlet and outlet stream are tribulated from HYSYS.
Table 1
Therefore, there are three entail type of reboilers used in the industry.
So, to finalise the type of the reboiler, a compression of these types is done to choose the suitable
type. Table 2 below shows the advantages and disadvantages of the reboiler:
