In this video, we simulate a complete LPG Separation Flowsheet in DWSIM using multiple unit operations
👉 Feed details
Mixture: 70 percent Propane and 30 percent n Butane
Temperature: 25 degree C
Pressure: 1 bar
Flow rate: 100 kg per hour
👉 Process sequence
Compressor: Pressure increased to 15 bar with 80 percent efficiency
Cooler: Temperature reduced to 20 degree C at constant pressure
Valve: Throttling from 15 bar to 3 bar causing temperature drop
Flash Separator: Vapor liquid separation
📌 Key Concepts Covered
Compressor work calculation
Cooler heat duty
Joule Thomson effect in valve
Vapor liquid equilibrium in flash separator
Phase separation of hydrocarbons
🎯 Outputs to be determined
Compressor power
Cooler duty
Valve outlet temperature
Vapor fraction
Liquid flow rate
👉 Property package used: Peng Robinson (best for hydrocarbon systems like LPG)
💡 Perfect for Chemical Engineering students, GATE aspirants, and process simulation learners
