FLUID PROERTY DATA

When you have established a component list, you combine the component list with a property package. The property package is a collection of methods for calculating the properties of the selected components. The combination of the component list and the property package, along with other simulation settings, is called the fluid package.

Activity model USE Chien Null Wilson chemical systems with highly non-ideal chemicals. the Wilson model cannot be used for systems with two liquid phases. , it can represent almost all non-ideal liquid solutions satisfactorily except electrolytes and solutions exhibiting limited miscibility (LLE or VLLE). It performs an excellent job of predicting ternary equilibrium using parameters regressed from binary data only.

NRTL (The The NRTL property package is used for chemical systems and HF Non-Random- Alkylation with highly non-ideal chemicals Two-Liquid) General NRTL Apply this model to systems: with a wide boiling point range between components where you require simultaneous solution of VLE and LLE, and there exists a wide boiling point or concentration range between components. Extended NRTL Margules As same as above.

The Margules model was the first Gibbs excess energy representation developed. The equation does not have any 7/15/12 theoretical basis, but is useful for quick estimates and data

Chaos seader and grayson streed Chaos Seader

USE for heavy hydrocarbons, where the pressure is less than 10342 kPa (1500 psia), and temperatures range between -17.78 and 260C (0-500F). CS is recommended for problems containing mainly liquid or vapour H2O. The CS property package can also be used for three-phase flashes, but is restricted to the use of pure H2O for the second liquid phase. is recommended for use with systems having a high concentration of H2 because of the special treatment given H2 in the development of the model. The GS correlation can also be used for simulating topping units and heavy ends vacuum applications This correlation may also be slightly more accurate in the simulation of vacuum towers. The Grayson-Streed (GS) property package can be used for three-phase flashes, but is restricted to the use of pure H2O for the second liquid phase.

NBS

The NBS Steam property package is restricted to a single component, namely H2O. It uses the NBS 1984 Steam Tables, which reportedly have better calculations near the Critical Point than ASME 1967 steam tables.

MBWR

The Modified BWR (MBWR) property package is recommended for systems with select gases and light hydrocarbons. for predicting the equilibrium properties of a chemical system including phase and reactions in a water solution.
