Computer-Aided Flowsheeting

 Problem statement1.   Use COFE simulator and TEA thermodynamic package to estimate the following pure physical properties of 

benzene and toluene:(1) Density (2) Viscosity at:a.   25 °C and 2 bar  b.   225 °C and 2 bar 

2.   Use COFE simulator and TEA thermodynamic package to estimate the following mixture physical properties of 20percent benzene and 80 percent toluene (wt/wt):

(1) Density (2) Viscosity (3) Surface tension at:a.   25 °C and 2 bar  b.   225 °C and 2 bar 

Use the available correlations in “Sinnot, R.K. (2003). CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Volume 6, 3rd

Ed.,Butterworth Heinemann, Oxford” to check the values you predict in (1) and (2). Specify the

correlations (methods) you used.

3. In a separate table compare the estimated results from the Chemical Engineering volume 6 andthat predicted using COFE and TEA.
