Aspen  Products  •  Aspen  Technology,  or  AspenTech,  is  a  provider  of  soNware  

and  services  for  the  process  industries.  •  The  AspenTech  soNware  suite  includes  

–  Aspen  Plus:  steady-­‐state  simulator  –  Aspen  Plus  Dynamics:  unsteady-­‐state  simulator  –  Aspen  PIMS:  producCon  planning  and  opCmizaCon  –  Aspen  Energy  Analyzer:  heat  exchanger  network  design  opCmizaCon  –  Aspen  Economic  Evalua9on:  evaluaCon  of  capital  investment  –  …  

•  Informally,  engineers  simply  say  “Aspen”.  •  Extensive  databases  and  predicCon  models  of  thermodynamic  

and  transport  properCes  è  essenCal  informaCon  for  rigorous  simulaCon  and  opCmizaCon.

Property  PredicCon  Task  •  Predict  the  molar  volume  of  ethane  at  two  condiCons:  

–  CondiCon  1:  P  =  1  atm,  T  =  573.15  K  –  CondiCon  2:  P  =  20  atm,  T  =  298.15  K  

•  Is  the  Ideal  Gas  Law  a  reasonable  assumpCon?  

 CondiCon  1:  V  =  47,031.23  mL/mol  CondiCon  2:  V  =      1,223.27  mL/mol  

•  More  rigorous  EquaCon  of  State  (EoS)  models  may  be  more  appropriate  depending  on  the  system  condiCons.  

•  Use  Aspen  to  predict  the  volume  for  the  two  condiCons  above  using  an  appropriate  EoS  model.

Summary  of  PredicCons  

19  

•  Molar  volumes  [mL/mol]  

•  Similar  results  for  CondiCon  1.  •  For  CondiCon  2,  Ideal  Gas  Law  overesCmates  V  by  23%  when  

compared  to  PENG-­‐ROB.  Why?  –  High  pressure,  “low”  temperature  è  intermolecular  interacCons  are  

not  negligible  anymore.  Need  more  rigorous  model  for  more  accurate  predicCons.
