Specify components as solids in a compositional Fluid Type

You can specify a component in a Compositional Fluid Type as a solid. Currently, AVEVA Process Simulation supports only non-equilibrium solids. Therefore, the solid components do not participate in the phase equilibrium calculations. However, the calculated liquid fractions do include the solid components as part of the liquid. The bulk property calculations for the liquid phase also include the contributions from the solid components.

The software does not support flash calculations with pure solid components. A thermodynamic flash may not solve if it includes solid components.

Specify components as solids

1. In the Fluid Editor, in the System section, select the Include non-equilibrium solid components checkbox.

   

   The Solid column now appears in the Component List section.

   

2. In the Component List section, in the Solid column, select the checkbox for each component that you want to treat as a solid.
