SOFTWARE

  • Expander/Compressor Off-Design Utility (EC-ODTM) for Aspen HYSYS®
    More Info

    Mafi-Trench and River City Engineering have developed new software used to predict turboexpander off-design performance in plant simulations. EC-OD is a unit operation extension designed to rigorously calculate expander compressor off-design performance within Aspen HYSYS. For more information about EC-OD please contact marketing@mafi-trench.com or kpennybaker@rivercityeng.com.

  • CO2 Freeze Utility for Aspen HYSYS®
    More Info

    The utility integrates with Aspen HYSYS and aids in the evaluation of CO2 freeze potential for natural gas processing plants. It predicts both vapor and liquid phase CO2 freezing temperatures for process streams, heat exchangers, expanders, and columns.

TwoPhase Flow Calculation Spreadsheet

Errors discoverd to date in the article "Calculation of Two-Phase Pressure Drop":
1. Eqn 42 should read (1-xg)^2 + xg^2..., not (1-xg)^2 x xg^2
2. Eqn 45 is missing gc in the denominator
(i.e. gc x pliquid x d)
