DISCUSSION
This experiment shows the simulation of separatin between ammonia and water by
using ICON simulation software. The Thermodynamci Model used for this simulation is
Advanced Peng-Robinson, Wilson and UNIQUAC. Different types of model give different
result thus help for understanding better the effect of models on the calculation and the
output result. This simulation also had been done to understand the usage of condenser and
valve for the process as well as the separation process itself.
The process was began by passing through the mixture of ammonia and water as
feed at 143.6 0C and 1724 kPa. The feed is passed through the condenser with the flow rate
of 4536 kgmole/hr and contains 80 wt% ammonia and 20 wt% water. Then, the heat of 1700
kW was removed by using cooler. The temperature of the system will decrease because the
heat is being relaesed. Then, the controlling valve help to reduce the pressure of the process
as the outlet pressure of the valve have decreased to 1034 kPa. Finally, the mixture is being
fed to flash vessel to enable the separation process to separate the mixture of vapor and
liquid.
The thermodynamics models is also known as equation of state. Itis an equation that
describe state of matter in a specific physical conditions. There are many type of
thermodynamics model and it is widely used in industry. The thermodynamic model is differ
based on its usage so the selection for suitable model is needed for every system. The
selection for the suitable thermodynamic model is fundamental to process modelling. The
suitable selection of models will give more accurate results.
Advenced Peng-Robinson is developed from Peng-Robinson equation of state and
this model introduce a flexible attractive temperature dependent term for accurate PVT and
saturation property related to polar compound. The resulting output temperature and
pressure from the Advanced Peng-Robinson model is 1220C and 1034 kPa. The
temperature has been dropped from 143.60Cdue to the usage of cooler and the pressure is
also decreased from 1724 kPa. The product is expected to contains more water than
ammonia in liquid stream and vice versa for vapor stream. The mole fraction of ammonia in
output liquid stream is 0.1779 and 0.82251 in outlet vapor stream.
Wilson model is widely used in industrial aplication for the prediction of phase
equilibrium. Wilson equation is not suitable for LLE and the system with limited miscibility.
Wilson equation is most suitable for binary and multicomponent VLE calculation. The outlet
temperature and pressure calculated using Wilson equation is 118.5 0C and 1034 kPa
respectively. The product composition for ammonia in output liquid stream is 0.0075 and
0.81697 for outlet vapor stream.
UNIQUAC model is an activity coefficient model used for the description of phase
equilibria. This model also known as lattice model and become the basis of the development
of the new method which is UNIFAC. In general, UNIQUAC model prediction is marginally
superior and the new model developed more simpler but this model does not require the
molecular parameter such as Van Der Waals arean and volume. The outlet temperature and
pressure calculated is 118.50C and 1034 kPa respectively. The value is same with the value
calculate by Wilson model. This is may due to UNIQUAC and Wilson model is best used for
aqueous miscible system. So, the result obtained is more accurate becauese diffewrent
model give the same value. The product composition for ammonia in output liquid stream is
0.0075 and 0.81697 for output vapor stream.
CONCLUSION
From the calculated value of different models, it can be cocluded that Advanced PengRobinson model give higher output temperature which is 1220C rather than 118.5 0C
obtained from UNIQUAC and Wilson models. Furthermore, it produce more composition of
ammonia in outlet vapor stream rather than other models. The composition for ammonia in
outlet vapor stream for Advanced Peng-Robinson is 0.88251. Finally, valve is used in this
simulation ti decrease the ppressure value and condenser is used to relaease heat and
decrease the temperature of the system. Th e objective of the simulation is completely
achieved.
