Template:TPS SideCalc Description

From SysCAD Documentation
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The {{{TPS}}} Side Calc model allows the user to 'call' the {{{TPS}}} solver to determine the state of a defined SysCAD stream/s. The user defines the SysCAD stream/s of interest, and the unit will then determine the equilibrium conditions of the resulting stream at the user defined conditions such as temperature or enthalpy. This is similar to the use of the [[{{{TPS}}} Reactor]] using the Side Calc model option.

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 a stream.

Notes

  1. The user MUST have added and configured a [[{{{TPS}}} Model Configuration]] unit in the SysCAD project before this unit can function.
  2. 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.

The diagram shows the default drawing of a {{{TPS}}} Side Calc unit model. For side calculations with multiple incoming streams and containers, the combined stream pressure will be set to the lowest pressure of the incoming streams or containers that contain a flow or mass, respectively.
