Mass Transfer Correlation Development in Circular Conduit with the Presence of Entry Region Spiral Tape Wound on Rod as Turbulence Promoter in Homogeneous Flow
Abstract: In this study, an experimental investigation has been carried out to develop a model for mass transfer correlation. As a part of that experimental data obtained in terms of limiting current values and the data was measured for various flow rates using spiral tape wound on a rod promoters of varying geometric parameters. The geometric parameters are height (H), width (W) and the pitch (P). The experiment carried out for …

Design and Pinch Analysis of Mono-Isopropyl Amine Production Process Using Aspen Plus and Aspen Energy Analyzer
Abstract: This paper presents the design of Mono-isopropyl amine production process. Process flow diagram is designed with Aspen Plus user interface. Mono-isopropyl amine obtained is of purity 100% and the designed plant is safe to environment with less emissions. After the design of the process pinch analysis is applied for the entire process by using Aspen Energy analyzer. From the extracted data using Aspen Energy Analyzer a HEN (Heat Exchanger Network) …

Pinch Analysis of Acetone Production Process Using Aspen Energy Analyzer
Abstract: This article is divided into two parts. In the first part a process flow diagram for the production of Acetone was designed with Aspen HYSYS. Acetone obtained is 94.6% pure and the designed plant is safe to environment with less emissions. In the second part HEN (Heat exchanger networks) was developed for the process plant by performing pinch analysis using Aspen Energy Analyzer. Retrofit analysis was applied to find an …

Parametric Studies of In-house Resin for Hardness Removal
Abstract: Presence of high amount of calcium and/or magnesium makes the water hard as these ions in water react with other chemical agents and constituents of metallic plumbing etc. The process accelerates in the presence of heat. It decreases the efficiency of the unit operation due to the formation of scales. Hence, scaling is the main issue for which hard water is required to be treated or polished. De-mineralized water finds …
