1. Flash Separation
We have a stream containing 15% ethane, 20% propane, 60% i-butane
cooled to 32F (Delta P= 10 kPa). The resulting vapor and liquid are to

Calculate the Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient (UA) for the HX ..
You are asked to find a heat exchanger that will serve as the Gas-Gas
exchanger. However, since you are on a very strict budget, you can only
consider used equipment. A heat exchanger has been found in the surplus
supply of a nearby plant. If the critical process parameter is to maintain a
Sales Gas temperature of at least 10 C (50 F), can this heat exchanger
be used for the Gas-Gas service? The surplus exchanger has been
thoroughly cleaned.
The dimensions of the exchanger are given here:
TEMA: AEL
Tube Length = 1.5 m
Number of tubes = 300
Tube Pitch = 30 mm
Baffle Type = Double
Baffle Orientation = Vertical
Baffle Cut (% Area) = 15%
Baffle spacing = 100 mm
All other parameters are the HYSYS default values

5. Distillation (1)
We need to separate a mixture of five paraffins into light and heavy
fraction by using a distillation column with 12 trays, a full reflux
condenser, and a Kettle reboiler.
Calculate:
The Condenser, the Reboiler Temperatures & the Reflux Ratio after
modification
Condenser Temp oC
Reboiler Temp oC
Reflux Ratio
6. Distillation (2)
3700 kg/hr mixture of tetrahydrofuran & toluene (44 mass% THF) at 10oC
and 140 kPa is to be separated by distillation to get each of them with
purity of 99.5 mass% of THF & 94 mass% of Toluene (THF is the more
volatile component).
Use Wilson fluid package
The column specifications are:
Number of stages = 10.
Feed enters from the 5th tray.
The condenser works on total condensation conditions.
The condenser & reboiler pressure are 103 kPa & 107 kPa.
Calculate:
The reflux ratio and the distillate rate under the specified
conditions.
Reflux Ratio
Distillate Rate kgmol/hr
Data:
Feed price= 0.05 $/kg.
Pure toluene selling price= 0.136 $/kg
Pure THF selling price= 0.333 $/ kg
Cooling Cost= 0.471 $/ kw.hr
Heating Cost= 0.737 $/kw.hr
Note:
Profit = (Total Toluene selling price + Total THF selling price) - (Feed
cost + Heating cost + Cooling Cost)
Use a range of 0.99 to 0.999 for THF limit & 0.9 to 0.99 for the
toluene.

8. Compressor Curves
Using compressor curves in your HYSYS simulation allows you to
accurately model existing plant equipment. You can determine if an
existing compressor is able to meet the specifications of your process.
Using compressor curves allows HYSYS to calculate heads and
efficiencies that are dependent on the flow rate. If the flow rate through
the compressor is known to be constant, a single pressure rise and
efficiency can be supplied. If, however, the flow rate is expected to
change, using a compressor curve will allow HYSYS to calculate new
heads and efficiencies based on the current flow rate.
This results in greater accuracy in the simulation, and allows HYSYS to
more closely model actual plant equipment.
After finishing the previous simulation, your boss provides you with a set
of Compressor Curves for the Stage 2 Compressor which now exists in
the field. Will the existing Compressor be able to achieve the outlet
pressure you want (i.e., 6900 kPa), or will you have to add a third stage of
compression?

Most of methane is removed from the top of the tower and the bottom
stream is pumped to 2790 kpa then it enters to the De-Ethanizer

overhead product then it is processed to use in different applications.
After running the column with the above specifications, the design is
modified to ensure that the bottom stream has ratio between C2/C3 =
0.01
