Hi friends :)

 

Iid like to know how to have the enthalpy of air (Hin  , Hout) from air cooler simulation on hysys or how to calculate

 

them ?

 

Regards 

Thanks

do you know tin, tout ?

then you can calculate enthalpy difference assuming constant cp

enthalpy of stream = specific heat * (T-Tref) * mass flow

see for example

 

http://www.engineeri...res-d_1535.html

 

as alternative you can use the simulator to export the values of enthalpy in different streams,

you may for example export in Excel, I do that with PRODE and

macro StrH() which returns directly the enthalpy  of a stream,

for example if stream 1 is the air to air cooler and stream 2  the air

from air cooler your value would be  =StrH(2)-StrH(1)

Hi :) thank you,  but the equation

 enthalpy of stream = specific heat * (T-Tref) * mass flow    

gives a unit : kcal /hr 

 

I'd like to have mass enthalpy with Kcal /kg 

 

I found this link , it is very useful, you just have to input temperature and pressure of air

then you click on calculate and you will have calculated properties

you can calculate specific enthalpy as specific heat * (T-Tref)
