Q. Consider A Single Component Vaporizer As Shown in The

This document describes developing models for a single component vaporizer that vaporizes liquid propane from a pressurized tank by adding heat. It proposes the following models: 1. A steady state heat balance model that equates heat input, heat of vaporization, and mass flow rates. 2. A liquid phase dynamic model that uses mass and heat balances and relationships between density, temperature, and pressure to model changes in liquid volume, temperature, and density over time. 3. A combined liquid and vapor dynamic model that additionally accounts for changes in the vapor phase over time. 4. A thermal equilibrium model that assumes the liquid and vapor are in thermal equilibrium. The document outlines equations that would need

Q.

consider a single component vaporizer as shown in the


figure. LPG is fed into a pressurized tank to hold the liquid
level in the tank. Assume LPG is a pure component containing
propane. The liquid in the tank is assumed to be perfectly
mixed. Heat is added at a rate of Q to hold the desired
pressure in the tank by vaporizing the liquid at a rate Wv
mass per time. Heat losses and mass losses are assumed to be
negligible. Gas is withdrawn off the top of the tank at a
volume flow rate Fv. Develop
1. A steady state model
2. Liquid phase dynamic model
3. Liquid & vapour dynamic model
4. Thermal equilibrium model.
ANS.
F0 is input flow rate, T0 input liquid temperature.
FV is output stream flow rate, TV vapour temperature, PV is
partial pressure of vapour, TL is for liquid inside the tank and
VL is volume of liquid inside the tank.
1) STEADY STATE HEAT BALANCE FOR SYSTEM:
(F00h0) (FvvHv) + Q = 0
(F00CpT0) (FvvCpTv + Fvvv) + Q = 0
Assumption: if F0 = Fv, 0=v=
Then
F0Cp (T0-Tv) - F0v + Q = 0

2) LIQUID PHASE DYNAMIC MODEL:


ASSUMPTION: changes in the vapour phase are negligible

Mass balance for liquid phase is given by,


F00 - Fvv =

d (V l)
dt

Heat balance is given by,


(F00h0) (FvvHv) + Q =

d ( lhV l)
dt
d ( lhV l)
dt

(F00CpT0) (FvvCpTv + Fvvv) + Q =


(F00CpT0) (FvvCpTv + Fvvv) + Q = (

pd ( T lV ll )

dx

Density of vapour is given by assuming ideal gas


v =

PM
RT

The unknown in the system are: F0, Q, P, VL, V & TL


So we need 6 equations to solve.
For 1st controller (inlet side)
F0 = f1 (VL) .4
For 2nd controller

Q = f2 (PV) .5

Antoine equation is given by


ln (Pi) =

A
T

+ B .6

By solving the above 6 equation we can get the values of


unknowns.
