Since you chose the Solids with English Units application type when you started this simulation, Aspen Plus has set the following defaults for calculating and reporting stream properties:

•The component mass flow rates will be included in the stream report.

•The stream results will be displayed using the SOLIDS Stream Format.

•Property set ALL-SUBS (properties for the entire stream, all substreams combined) will be reported for each stream.

Getting Started - Solids

1On the first four Component ID fields, enter H2O, ACETONE, N2, and POLYMER.

Aspen Plus is able to find WATER, ACETONE and NITROGEN in the databanks. POLYMER is not found, so the Component name field for polymer is empty.

By default, Aspen Plus assumes all components have a Type of Conventional, indicating that they participate in phase equilibrium calculations. Change the Type for POLYMER to indicate that it is a solid. Because POLYMER does not have a precise molecular weight, assign POLYMER the Type

Nonconventional.

2In the Type field for POLYMER, click and select

Nonconventional.

3Click to continue.
