ChE 315- Chemical Process Simulation


Assignment 2 (Total Marks :64)
Using “Chemicals with Metric Units” template, create an Aspen Plus file with the following components:
Acetone, Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone (MEK), and 1-Hexene. Your job is to carry out the following analysis
steps:

Q1 Choose an appropriate physical property method and explain the (Marks 8) CLO 2 (C3)
reason for selecting the method.
Q2 Estimate missing binary parameters and report all binary interaction (Marks 8) CLO 2 (C3)
parameters.
Q3 Report physical property data using the retrieve parameters option (Marks 4) CLO 2 (C3)
Q4 What is the boiling point of methanol at 10 bar? What is the dew (Marks 12) CLO 2 (C3)
point and bubble point temperature for a mixture of 70% acetone and
30% 1-hexene?
Q5 What is the molar density in mol/L for a mixture of 20% Acetone (Marks 4) CLO 2 (C3)
and 30% Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone, and 50% 1-Hexene?
Q6 A mixture of 50 mol% acetone and 50 mol% 1-hexene is given. (Marks 8) CLO 2 (C3)
Determine temperature range for a two-phase (vapor and liquid)
region? Which phase diagrams can be used to answer this question?
Q7 Analyze and report azeotrope at 1 atm and 10 atm for each binary (Marks 20) CLO 3 (C4)
mixture, i.e., Acetone and MEK, Acetone and 1-Hexene, and MEK
and 1-Hexene. If azeotrope exists, what is the mole fraction of more
volatile component at azeotrope? What is the temperature of
azeotrope?
