Mole Based Solids Flowrate and Composition

This window is used to specify the amount of solids in a defined composition stream by defining the mole rate and composition. Only solid components with a defined molecular weight may be entered here.

Usage

From the Stream Data - Solid Components Window, press the Mole Based Solids button to open this window and check the Supply mole based flowrate and composition option. Select a mole based flowrate specification and enter the appropriate values for composition/component flowrates.

Mole Based Solids Flowrate Specification

This specification can be either the Total Mole Based Solids Flowrate or the Individual Mole Based Solids Component Flowrates. If you select the Total Mole Based Solids Flowrate, enter its value in the data entry field.

Component Table

The Component column of the table contains all the Solid components specified in the Component Phase Selection Window. Enter values (mole composition or flowrates) for each component.

Depending upon the choice made for the Mole Based Solids Flowrate Specification, you should enter appropriate values for individual components. The various possibilities are:

1. If Total Mole Based Solids Flowrate has been selected

Enter the individual mole composition values. The individual compositions must add up to 1.00, 100.0, or the supplied total flowrate, within a tolerance of 1%. If this tolerance is not met, an error message will be generated when the OK button is pushed. Selecting the "Normalize" option scales the individual compositions and avoids this error.

2. If Individual Mole Based Solids Component Flowrates has been selected

Enter the individual mole flowrate values. There is no restrictions on the flowrate sum for this option.

Clear Compositions

Press this button to remove all composition or component flowrate data entered into the table.

Normalize Component Flowrate

If the Total Mole Based Solids Flowrate has been entered, you may select the option of normalizing the composition of the individual components to the total flowrate. Since the composition values are normalized, no error condition arises when the required tolerances are not met.
