Automated System for Calculating Thermophysical Properties of Fluids and Thermal Processes of Cryogenic Plants

An automated system for calculating thermophysical properties of gases and liquids over a wide range of parameters has been developed. On the basis of values of the properties, the processes of isothermal compression, adiabatic throttling, polytropic expansion, heat exchange in two- and multi-stream heat exchangers, separation of vapor-liquid mixtures in the liquid vessel, and rectification in an air separation plant can be analyzed. For a specified structure scheme of a cryogenic plant, optimization of a corresponding thermodynamic cycle can be fulfilled.
