Simulation and evaluation of the efficiency of a Rankine cycle based steam power plant in Aspen Plus

In this comprehensive tutorial, discover the intricacies of simulating a Rankine cycle-based steam power plant in Aspen Plus. This video begins with an explanation of the #RankineCycle, followed by the learning objectives: understanding how to simulate a steam engine using #AspenPlus , and specifying #pumps, #heaters, and #turbines.
The given conditions are detailed, and the simulation in Aspen Plus is then initiated. Components and the property method are defined, followed by an analysis illustrated with a vapor pressure vs. temperature diagram. The flowsheet is drawn, and the conditions of the flowstreams and flowsheet components are specified. The simulation is run, and the results are interpreted to determine the plant's thermal efficiency.
By watching this video, viewers will gain valuable insights into the efficiency evaluation of a Rankine cycle-based steam power plant and master the use of Aspen Plus for simulating such systems. Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your skills in engineering simulations.
