    This document provides a 6 step procedure for using CHEMCAD software to simulate mixing of three feed streams containing benzene, toluene, and xylene at different compositions and pressures: 1) Create a new CHEMCAD file and add unit operation icons for the mixer and feed/product streams. 2) Enter the compositions, temperatures, and pressures of the three feed streams based on the problem statement. 3) Specify the mixer outlet pressure and add benzene, toluene, and xylene as components. 4) Run the simulation to determine the composition and temperature of the mixed product stream exiting the mixer.

    MIXER

    Problem Statement:

    Benzene
    (A)
    Toluene

    Mixer

    Mixed
    Stream

    Xylene
    Benzene Stream: 10 kmol Benzene, 0.5 kmol Toluene, 0.25 kmol Xylene
    Toluene Stream: 20 kmol Toluene, 1 kmol Xylene, 0.5 kmol Benzene
    Xylene Stream: 30 kmol Xylene, 1.5 kmol Benzene, 0.75 kmol Toluene
    All feed streams are at room temperature (25 oC) and atmospheric pressure (1 atm).
    Mixer has a pressure of 2 atm. Find the composition and temperature of the mixed
    stream.
    Procedure:
    Step 1: Creating a new job in CHEMCAD
    Step 2: Drawing the flow sheet
    Step 3: Components and Engineering units
    Step 4: Entering the feed stream composition
    Step 5: Entering the Mixer specs
    Step 6: Running the simulation and retrieving the results

    Step1: Creating a new job in CHEMCAD


    The first step is to create a new job in CHEMCAD. This can be done by opening
    CHEMCAD window and clicking newjob from File menu. Each new CHEMCAD file is
    automatically opened in a separate folder and all the files associated files are stored in
    this folder.

    Once a new job is successfully saved in CHEMCAD, the CHEMCAD palette with the
    icons of unit operations appears as follows.

    Step2: Drawing the Flow sheet


    In the CHEMCAD palette, the unit operations are listed in alphabetical order for easy
    access. Right click on Mixer from the unit operations palette and then select the icon with
    three feed streams and one product stream (Mixer#5). This icon can be placed on the
    workspace by clicking once. Right click on the Feed icon from the palette and select the
    feed arrows in desired directions and click on the workspace to paste. Similarly, click on
    Product icon and paste it on to the simulation page. Using stream on the palette, connect
    the feeds to the inputs of the mixer and the product to the output. Always draw the
    streams from the input to the output. After all the icons are connected using stream, click
    once on the workspace to view the palette. CHEMCAD automatically assigns numbers to
    the streams the order in which they are drawn.

    Step 3: Entering the components and formatting engineering units


    Change the simulation mode from Edit Simulation to Run Simulation by clicking once on
    the S/G icon found on the menu bar. The same icon can be used to toggle between these
    two simulation modes. Then, go to Thermophysical on the menu bar and select
    Component list. Select the three desired components (Benzene, Toluene and Xylene for
    this example) and them to the component list. The search for the components in the
    database can be made by typing the name of the component in the dialogue box provided
    in the window. The order in which the components are entered will be the order in which
    components are displayed at any stage of the simulation. Go to the Format menu and
    click on Engineering Units and select the desired units for such properties as temperature,
    pressure etc. Click OK to continue. Save the simulation at the end of each step to make
    sure that no information is lost in the event of system failure.

    Step 4: Entering the composition of feed streams


    Double click on each of the feed streams and enter the name, temperature, pressure and
    composition corresponding to each stream as given in problem statement. Click once on
    Flash button at the end of entering information for each feed stream to get the feed
    stream enthalpy and vapor fraction in feed at the feed conditions.

    Step 5: Entering the Mixer specs


    After entering the feed streams information, double click on mixer and enter the Output
    Pressure as 2 atm as given in the problem statement. Click ok to continue.

    Step 6: Running the simulation and retrieving the results


    Go to Run menu and select Run all to run this simulation. Alternatively, any steady state
    simulation can be run by simply clicking R on the menu bar. The status of the program
    can be found from the bottom left hand corner of the workspace. Once the simulation is
    complete, the message Run Finished appears on the bottom left hand corner. The quality
    and composition of the final product stream can be found by double clicking on the
    product stream.
