What is process simulation?
• Rigorous computer calculations of material
and energy balances and equilibrium data for
a process unit and/or a whole plant.
Result:
• Sizing of unit operations are performed.
• All process conditions , material streams and
energy streams are calculated

What can HYSYS do ?
• Calculate heat and mass balances,
• Calculate thermodynamic data and
equlibrium
• Sizing and capacity evaluation of various
equipment (unit operations)
• Economic optimization of units/plants
• Dynamic simulation capabilities

Cooler/Heater calculations in Aspen Hysys
• One sided heat-exchanger :
• Inlet stream is specified
• Must specify :
1)Temperature in outlet
2) Pressure drop ( P)
