Why start a Chemical engineering blog?

I started this blog site for chemical engineering students all over the globe, as I am one myself, to be fun and to ask the stupid questions as well as teaching myself as I work on the blog site.

    Thank you Albert for the comment.

    The blog is still very new and I will put alot more effort into it as soon as my exams come to a end and thank you for the additional course information.

    Also very glad to see that people are actually reading my blog

    Sincerely
    Ruan Pretorius

How to plot an XY diagram for McCabe Thiele method in Aspen Plus

Its been a really long time since I made any posts, sorry for that but work sometimes gets in the way of the things I like doing, like updating my blog. This post might seem a bit stupid but I tried to find out how to do this on the web and it was quite impossible to find a easy step by step guide for making a XY plot in Aspen Plus for use in the McCabe Thiele method for designing a distillation coulomb, so I had to figure it out myself after a lot of fellow class mates had the same problem as me. So without any further a dew here is my 13 steps to making a XY plot in Aspen Plus for a binary mixture. For this example I used the old classic ethanol and water problem. Step1:  Open Aspen Plus and this is the first screen to pop up. Choose "Blank Simulation" an press "Ok" Step 1: Begin new Aspen simulation Step2:  You are now in the simulation environment and to start the simulation you need to enter the "Data Browser" (Usual simulations you would...

Designing a C5/C6 Isomerization unit

As a final year student we need to design a catalytic isomerization unit that effectively rises the octane number by isomerization of n-butane, n-pentane and n-hexane into their respective isomers. I was responsible for the design of the reactor, this was probably the most difficult thing I have done in engineering since I started the course. It took a lot of hard work, but in return I am most certainly a much better engineer.... (P.S. The most difficult part of the project was finding the correct reaction kinetics, and just a note to the reader, I do not fully trust the kinetics that was used in this design.) 3.1        Reactions and Kinetics n-Butane In a process such as the Penex process where carbon strings from C4-C6 are present a large amount of possible reactions can take place in the form of isomerisation and cracking. We will begin by considering the short straight chains and their reaction and kinetics first then move to the cyclic molecule...
