Configure an isomeric hydrogen Fluid Type

These Fluid Types use IsomericHydrogen as their ThermoType.

Configure an isomeric hydrogen Fluid Type

1. Open the Fluid Editor for the Fluid Type.

2. Expand the Starting Values section and enter the Initial value, Minimum value, and Maximum value for the Pressure and Temperature.

   

3. Expand the Component List section, which allows you to define what your fluid is composed of.

   

4. In the Component List section, in the Add Component box, enter the name of the components that you want to add, and then press Enter.

   You can add only components from the System:SIMSCI data bank, which is the standard data bank in the default thermodynamic library that comes along with the AVEVA Process Simulation install.

   For isomeric hydrogen Fluid Types, we recommend that you add only ortho-hydrogen (OH2) and para-hydrogen (PH2) to the Fluid Type.

5. Set the Starting Composition of each component that you want to use when you first place a model that uses the fluid in a simulation or when you first add the fluid to an existing model on the Canvas. Note that there are no units of measure for these values. When you add the fluid to a model, AVEVA Process Simulation uses the default units of measure for the model without converting these values.

   The Sum of Starting Compositions displays the sum of all the Starting Composition values. We recommend that you set the starting compositions such that this value is 1.
