One Minute Process Engineering: Generate Expander Datasheets from HYSYS

It is so much fun for being a process engineer to do all kinds of magic calculation in AspenTech HYSYS. But when it comes to generate process data sheet specification, it is so so frustrating. If you have the same experience as I do, you are in the right place.

One Minute Process Engineering: Generate TEMA data sheets from HYSYS

As a process engineer, you've finished the most challenging process calculation in Aspen HYSYS, and now it's time to generate process data sheet specification. Are you excited about copying data one by one from HYSYS to Excel? If not, then you are in the right place.

One Minute Process Engineering: Design, Check or Simulate Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers

Welcome to One Minute Series of shell and tube heat exchangers.

Is it possible to design, check or simulate shell and tube heat exchangers in one minute? Surely it is. 

Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating (EDR) program is widely used to design, check or simulate shell and tube heat exchangers in the oil and gas industry. It is extremely powerful. However, being powerful also means being complicated.

One Minute Process Engineering: Size an Air Cooled Heat Exchanger

Are you tired of designing Air Cooled Heat Exchangers for your application? Air Cooled Heat Exchangers are a highly standard product. Can you please simply give me how many number of bays I need for my application in one hour, instead of spending several days with various designs and plots?

Geothermal Power Plants Modeling 201: Fast Rating and Optimization

Thanks for continuing reading Geothermal Power Plants Modeling 201: fast rating and optimization. In 101, a very rigorous approach is introduced to give users great confidence to guarantee output with real geometries of heat exchangers and so on. However, the disadvantage is the slow calculation speed. With slow calculation speed, it is almost impossible to optimize the whole plants. In this blog 201, a simplified yet accurate approach is used to optimize the whole power plants by finding the optimum process parameters.

Geothermal Power Plants Modeling 301: Dynamics Simulation

Welcome to Geothermal Power Plants Modeling 301: Dynamics Simulation. If you read my blog 101 which is about rigorous modeling and my blog 201 which is about fast rating and optimization, you notice both 101 and 201 are about steady state simulation. In 301, we are going to explore the dynamics simulation which can simulate the power plant performance real time with variable changes, such as dry bulb. In this blog, you will be able to see the dry bulb changes versus time and the power plant output versus time.
