Flash Separations: Interactive Simulations
Try to predict the behavior when a parameter changes before using a slider to change that parameter. Screencasts below explain how to use these simulations.
Simulation: Adiabatic Flash Drum with Binary Liquid Feed
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- As temperature increases, how does V/F change, and how do the exit mole fractions change?
- As pressure increases, how does V/F change, and how do the exit mole fractions change?
Simulation: T-x-y and x-y Diagrams for Binary Vapor Liquid Equilibrium in a Flash Drum
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- As the L/V ratio increases, how does the effluent temperature of the flash drum change?
- When the feed mole fraction of methanol increases, what changes in the exit streams?
