Process mode results for the CC2 example simulation

The following table summarizes the steady-state results for the simulation (in green) in comparison to the design reported by Turton1 in the C.14 table in his publication. We achieve good agreements, especially for the highly temperature-dependent and pressure-dependent reactor product, the resulting benzene recycle, and the T802 distillate, that is, the cumene product. The observed deviations result from eventual differences in the interaction parameters and the pure component properties.

These results are saved in the Pro 1 snapshot.

The following figures and tables summarize the composition and temperature profiles for the reactor, R802:
