PROCEDURE
1. The software, Aspen Hysys V8.6 was clicked and opened
2. The File button was clicked on to select the New Case for the process.
3. The Component List button was clicked to add the components as per instruct in the
question.
Components

6. Ethylene was set as a base component with the conversion 90%. The stoichiometric
coefficients for each component was also added.

11. Conversion reactor was added to the worksheet by dragging its icon from the palette
box. The stream in for the reactor is Stream 2 while its vapor outlet stream was
known as Stream 3 and liquid outlet stream was Stream 4.

14. Then, the TEE icon was dragged to the worksheet from the palette box as a junction
for the purge stream. The inlet stream was Stream 5 while the outlet stream was
changed to Stream 7 and Stream 8.
15. Then the TEE icon was double-clicked to add the properties needed :

The objective of this experiment is to install and converge a conversion reactor and to simulate a
process involving recycle. By using Hysys software, all the objectives were observed. All the
equipment in the process is carried in isothermal and isobaric process. The temperature is at 25
C while the pressure is 1 atm.
