Introduction
This section is used to display material flow and all the associated properties. For example there will be a Qi and Qo section in a Pipe; QFeed and QProd in many of the unit operations; Split and Vented in an Area Model; or Qo in a DirectLink.
This model primarily has read only variables, and a few options that affect how information (or views) are displayed. The species model that is used will affect the display and may result in some extra fields or tab pages. The default 'Standard' species model will be described here.

For fields relating to Potash Solubility, please see Potash Solubility in Units.

The latent heat is the difference in enthalpy between the vapour phase and the liquid phase of the species. This is calculated as Enthalpy(VapourPhase at local Temperature and Partial Pressure) - Enthalpy(Liquid Phase at T and Total Pressure). This is the enthalpy difference used in energy calculations. NB unless the partial pressure of the vaporizing species is equal to the saturation pressure, the latent heat may not have exactly the same value as for saturation conditions since the vapor phase enthalpy depends on its partial pressure. |
[email protected] | Calc | The Latent heat of vaporisation of the listed component at the temperature and saturation pressure of the vaporizing species corresponding to the local temperature. The latent heat is the difference in enthalpy between the vapour phase and the liquid phase of the species. This is calculated as Enthalpy(VapourPhase at Temperature, T and saturation pressure for that T, PSat(T)) - Enthalpy(Liquid Phase at T and Total Pressure). This is the latent heat that would be found in saturation tables for a given temperature. |
RelHumidity | Calc | The relative humidity of the stream. This is only useful if the stream contains gases, such as O2, N2, Air, etc. Relative Humidity = Partial Pressure of the Saturation Component (usually H2O) / Saturation Pressure of the Saturation Component at Stream Temperature * 100 |
Acidity (pH)
These values are calculated based on the Ka and Kb values for acids and bases that are defined in the species database. It does not take buffering into account, and hence is, at best, an estimate of the pH.
SysCAD does have default Ka and Kb values defined for some acids and bases, and the user may enter values for other compounds. For a description of the method that SysCAD uses to calculate the acidity values see Acidity Calculations.
These values will only be shown if the user has chosen to display the pH_Estimate variables on the Plant Model - Views tab page or from the Include Properties dropdown list on the first page of the material flow section.

Heating Values
Only available in Build 138 or earlier. For Build 139 or later, refer to Heats of Combustion.
The Heating Value is the Heat of Combustion (ie. heat released, enthalpy change) if the stream components undergo complete combustion with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide gas and water. The higher heating value (Hi) (or Gross Calorific Value) is calculated by assuming that the water produced is liquid water. The lower heating value (Lo) (or Net Calorific Value) is calculated by assuming that the water is produced as steam.
NOTE: The Heating Value is only calculated for components which contain only carbon (eg. carbon solid), only hydrogen (eg. hydrogen gas) or only carbon and hydrogen (ie. a hydrocarbon, eg. methane (CH4)). Components which contain only carbon and oxygen (eg. carbon monoxide) and only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (eg. ethanol) are also included.
These heating values will only be shown if the user has chosen to display Heating Values using the ShowHeatingValues tickbox.

- The enthalpies will only be slightly different to the IF97 values shown here due to the slightly different reference temperature (0°C vs 0.01°C).
- The entropies will be different to the IF97 values by a fixed amount due to the different reference temperatures (OK vs 0.01°C).
