Decane, heat capacity

HEAT CAPACITY OF DECANE IN 2-BUTOXYETHANOL-WATER MIXTURES AT 25 C. 

Given the design decision to use < > = 0.25, based on the steady-state C R analysis, verification is performed by dynamic simulations with HYSYS.Plant. The hot stream of n-octane at 2,350 Ibmol/hr is cooled from 500 to 300°F using n-decane as the coolant, with F2 = 3,070 Ibmol/hr and F3 = 1,200 Ibmol/hr. Note that these species and flow rates are chosen to match the heat-capacity flow rates defined by McAvoy (1983), with F, slightly increased to avoid temperature crossovers in the heat exchangers due to temperature variations in the heat capacities. Additional details of the HYSYS.Plant simulation are...
