1 Simulation Project & Reports
CHEN 4460 – Process Synthesis, Simulation and Optimization Dr. Mario Richard Eden Department of Chemical Engineering Auburn University Lab Lecture No. 7 – Simulation Project and Reports Overview October 30, 2012

2 Project Description Vinyl-chloride process
Based on problem 5.5 in SSLW Teams of 2 people Reports are due November 29 Reports make up 10% of final grade

3 Project Description

4 Project Description Process specifications Utilities
Cooling water is heated from 30-50°C Saturated steam is available at 260°C

5 Project Description Develop a steady state simulation of the process in Aspen Plus using the UNIQUAC thermo model. Compute the Maximum Energy Recovery (MER) targets using graphical and/or algebraic methods Design a simple Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) to meet the MER targets Implement the heat exchanger network and repeat the simulation Analyze and comment on the results generated in all steps!

6 General Comments Format and Content
Formatting is up to the individual groups. Pick a format you like and stick to it. Figures and tables should be presented as close as possible to where they are used in the text. Include an executive summary or abstract highlighting the main points of the report. Include a description of how the work was distributed within the group (for assessment purposes).

7 General Comments Format and Content (Continued)
Detailed calculations of e.g. material balance should be placed in an appendix, while the solution strategy should be presented in the main body of the report. Extensive (but not excessive) use of headings helps give overview. The report should allow the reader to fully understand the problem, the steps taken to solve it, and the results obtained. A frontpage is always nice 

8 General Comments Problem Solving
Always outline the solution steps in generic terms before plugging in numbers Whenever you make a decision, make sure you argue why you made it. If you get stuck on a problem because of you are missing one piece of information, make an assumption and state it, then show you know how to solve the problem
