Assignment #2

This document provides instructions for generating vapor-liquid equilibrium data for a binary system using Aspen Plus and comparing it to experimental data. The procedure involves searching for experimental VLE data, inputting components and methods in Aspen Plus, running a binary analysis for T-x-y or P-x-y data at a range of compositions and pressures, and obtaining results as plots and tables. The estimated and experimental VLE data are then plotted and compared to evaluate which property method most closely matches experiments.

Title: Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Data of Binary System Using Aspen Plus
Objective: To generate the vapor-liquid equilibrium data (T-x-y/P-x-y) for binary mixture
and compare them with experimental data.
Procedure:
EXPERIMENTAL DATA
Search for the experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data (T-x-y or P-x-y) for the
binary system for which you intend to run the property analysis. Report it in the tabular form
and its source.
INPUT
1. Open Aspen Plus GUI
2. Select appropriate input and output units and run type
3. Select components for which the property analysis is to be performed.
4. Select the at least three property methods
5. On the ribbon tabs of Home menu, select Analysis on Run Mode Tab
6. Select Binary on the Analysis Tab
7. On the Binary Analysis form:
a. select analysis type, Txy or Pxy
b. select component1 and component2 from the list
c. select the basis for composition (mole fraction/mass fraction) and component (usually
more volatile component) whose composition is desired.
d. select the composition at which the VLE data are required as list of values (liquid
composition at which experimental VLE data are available) or overall range
e. select the pressure unit and its value as list of value or overall range
f. on the Calculation Options tab, select the desired valid phases from the list as vapor-
liquid or vapor-liquid-liquid
g. select the property method from the available list on the same tab one at a time.
h. back on the Binary Analysis from, click on Run Analysis for each property method.
RESULTS
1. After the Analysis run successfully, a window will open automatically showing the plot
of the desired VLE (t-x-y or P-x-y) data. To plots x-y data or others, select the desired
plot from the Plot tab on ribbon. You can customised the plot by selecting the Custom on
the Plot tab on the ribbon
2. To see the results in tabulated form, click Analysis in the data browser and click Results
Tab. The results are in the form of worksheet which can be copied and pated on the Excel
worksheet.
3. For comparison with experimental values, copy the tabulated VLE (x-y) data in MS Excel
worksheet for all the selected methods. Also copy the experimental data in the same
worksheet.
4. Plot the estimated results along with the experimental values. The property method whose
plot is closest to experimental values will be most suitable property method for that
analysis.
Note: Attach all the input and output Aspen forms as snapshot at the desired location in the
report
