Basis of Calculation

100 lb/hr of feed

Solution Outline

1. Use a pump operation in HYSYS to model the pumping process.
2. Specify the stream conditions as stated above.
3. Specify the pump efficiency and then determine the outlet temperature.

Assumptions

1. The components behave according to the PRSV equation of state.
2. There is no heat loss or gained from the environment.
