Hey folks,
I'm doing a university design project to separate 1-butene and 1-pentene using distillation, and I need to find data to support my fluid package choice in Aspen Hysys. I'm trying to learn how to use Aspen Properties to compare data obtained using these different fluid packages.
There is no experimental VLE data for the 1-butene/1-pentene binary available to me, since it isn't the NIST or Dechema databases included with Aspen.
Some questions, which would help me understand this program better (I simulated these graphs using PR):
1) How is it still able to generate a a T-xy or P-xy graph without experimental data?
2) Under Parameters -> Binary Interaction I'm unable to view anything, but I'm able to view parameters for other systems like methane/ethylene (presumably because there's existing data). However, the categories "MLQKIJ-1 and RKTKIJ-1" still appear blue (but they're blank). What do these categories represent?
Thank you!
