DWSIM Process simulation tutorial: DWSIM pump and pump curve simulation

Hello sir, I want to ask how do we know the energy balance in dwsim?

[@jefersoncostaengineer]

The energy balance refers to the energy used in the system. You can do a list of equipment and report their energy consumption. For material stream you can verify their initial and final enthalpy.

Designing any process stream how does a process engineer thinks. As you said at one point "I will take C5 as system of units".Sir Suppose, you are in FEED Department, then does everything works on trial and error basis,in process design Industries??

Hi, your question is more complex that it seems. As a chemical process engineer we must reach products based on the raw materials available. To do that, we will perform first heat and material balance. The heat and material balance, specially with recycle stream, will require iterative calculation, that in essence is trial and error method. As chemical process engineer we do not perform the trial and error blindly. Nice question. 😁

Thank uh 😊 for clearing my doubt

Its been a long time I havent use DWSIM! I've heard they have been updating it lately...

[@jefersoncostaengineer]

Yes, it has been updated with some new features. I believe DWSIM is the best free option to process simulation. It is not perfect, but it is a good start for chemical engineers. 😇 Great to have your comments Emmmanuel 😄

what is DWSIm

[@jefersoncostaengineer]

In summary, DWSIM is a FREE process simulation software used to do heat and material balance 😇
