Using a custom compound
Hi all,
first time for me here.. i'm trying to simulate the transport of hydrocarbons, namely gasoline, gasoil and jet.
how can I add those substances into the model? kust by adding the single different components? it seems way too imprecise..
open to any kind of suggestion.
thanks

Normally, for this kind of task, the petroleum characterization utilities are used to generate pseudocompounds.


How do i do taht? because in the compound creator I am asked to input tons of data i dont know, like the unifac groups and so on..
thanks
Create a new simulation, do not select any compound. Add an instance of the Peng-Robinson Property Package, then go to Tools and select one of the Petroleum Characterization utilities, according to the data you have. At the end of the process you'll have a set of (pseudo)compounds added to your simulation which will represent the data you've input.
