Latest SysCAD Version: 23 April 2024 - SysCAD 9.3 Build 139.35250

Related Links: AQSol SysCAD Project Workflow

Formally released as part of Build 139.30140 (first available as BETA version in Build 138). The AQSol SysCAD TCE option and models documentation is for the latest version of SysCAD.

General Description

The AQSol Direct Calc model allows the user to 'call' the AQSol solver to determine the state of an aqueous solution at a given temperature/enthalpy and pressure. The user enters the mass or molar makeup of the 'Feed' stream, and the unit will then determine the equilibrium conditions of the resulting stream at the user defined temperature/enthalpy and pressure.

The model has no links to any other models in SysCAD. Therefore, this model is not a part of any SysCAD network, but is a stand-alone calculation that allows the user to check the status of an aqueous solution.

Notes

  1. The user MUST have added and configured a AQSol Model Configuration unit in the SysCAD project before this unit can function.
  2. The user MUST have installed a version of AQSol on their computer to make use of the AQSol functionality in SysCAD. Please see www.phasediagram.dk for more information.

Inputs and Outputs

There are no connections to this unit.

Model Theory

The AQSol Direct Calc Model uses the AQSol algorithms and data to determine the status of the aqueous solution.

The AQSol Direct Calc Model calls the AQSol algorithms to determine the status of the mixture using the AQSol "DInput" data. The AQSol results are displayed in the "Output" tab using AQSol species.

The DInput, Input, Output and Diff pages are displayed using AQSol species, as defined in the database (.dat) file specified in the corresponding AQSol Model Configuration unit model. The species used in the SysCAD project are not used in this model.

The calculations performed are similar to using AQSol directly. Please see www.phasediagram.dk for more information.


Workflow

The suggested workflow for configuring the model is:

  1. Make sure the project contains at least one of the AQSol Model Configuration model, and the model is loaded with the correct AQSol database file you would like to use for the direct calculation.
  2. On the Direct Calc DInput tab page, type in the required feed properties for T, P and mass or mole flow of individual species.
  3. Perform an equilibrium calculation based on constant Temperature by pressing the Calculate.png button on the AQSolDirectCalc tab page.
  4. The Results are displayed on the AQSolResults and Output tabs.

NOTES:

  1. The AQSol Direct Calc Model does not require species mapping between AQSol and SysCAD.
