Template:TPS Reactor Description
The {{{TPS}}} Reactor model allows the user to 'call' the {{{TPS}}} solver to determine the state of a SysCAD stream. The composition, temperature and pressure of the 'Feed' stream are based on the feed to the unit. The unit will then determine the equilibrium conditions of the resulting stream.
The results can be applied to the product stream or just performed as a side calculation (similar to use of the [[{{{TPS}}} Side Calc Model]]).
Notes
- The user MUST have added and configured a [[{{{TPS}}} Model Configuration]] unit in the SysCAD project before this unit can function.
- The user MUST have installed a version of {{{TPS}}} on their computer to make use of the {{{TPS}}} functionality in SysCAD. Please see [{{{Website}}}] for more information.
Diagram
The diagram shows a drawing of the {{{TPS}}} Reactor unit, with Feed, Product and Vent streams. When the user inserts the {{{TPS}}} Reactor unit into a flowsheet, a different graphics symbol can be selected from a pull down menu. The streams may be connected to any area of the drawing without affecting the actual connection point as SysCAD ignores the physical position of the connection. For reactors with multiple incoming streams, the combined stream pressure will be set to the lowest pressure of the incoming streams that contain a flow.
