HI ALL,
i am working on my project of simulating alkali biodiesel production process on hysys v8. At the beginning of project i.e. when i was adding components i got problem in creating hypothetical components.
1. I could not change the family/class of my hypothetical component from hydrocarbon to inorganic (NaOH*).
2. secondly i know that while creating hypothetical component you have to provide at least molecular weight, normal boiling point and ideal liquid density but the problem is that i don't know where to find the these properties.
------------------------
3. please tell me what are binary coefficients? and how do you estimate them in hysys---plz suggest any book if you couldn't explain it here
guys i know these questions are related to very basics of hysys but the problem is that I ain't a chemical engineer, am mechanical (major)-plz suggest some books for knowing fundamentals of chemical engineering by some good author.
regards
