Summary
Gas absorption columns are used to remove carbon dioxide from air with water. Students learn how to model this process using HYSYS software. The tutorial guides users through setting up and running the simulation.
What Is HYSYS
HYSYS is simulation software. It is used for modeling chemical processes. The tutorial uses HYSYS Plant 2.2.2, released in 2000.
Starting HYSYS
Students learn how to access and start HYSYS on specific computers. The tutorial explains how to open a new case in HYSYS. It describes the steps to insert an absorber column into the process flow diagram.
Setting Up Streams
The tutorial explains how to define the streams entering the absorption column. Students learn to input conditions and compositions for the streams. The streams include water, carbon dioxide, and air.
Calculating Transfer Units
HYSYS transport properties are used to calculate the number of transfer units. These calculations help determine the height of the packed column. The tutorial guides students through these calculations.
