b) Do I need to add phase='g' when I create a gas stream through bst.Stream()? Do I need to add phase='s' when creating a solid stream through bst.Stream()?
d) For the isothermal compressor and isentropic compressor I created, why does Isentropic compressor.Hnet, Isothermal compressor.Hnet not match exported excel Utilities data (Isentropic compressor.Hnet is 192024 kJ/h, however, in the Utilities in exported excel, the Isentropic compressor consumes only 66.68 kW electricity; Isothermal compressor.Hnet is 1998 kJ/h, but the cooling water duty and steam duty of Utilities in excel are -427363 kJ/h and 216 kJ/h respectively, without power consumption)? Should I take the result of Utilities in excel?
e) For “BioSTEAM has yet to incorporate equations of state for mixtures as well as rigorous multicomponent distillation algorithms” in paper “BioSTEAM: A Fast and Flexible Platform for the Design, Simulation, and Techno-Economic Analysis of Biorefineries under Uncertainty”,
what does “BioSTEAM has yet to incorporate equations of state for mixtures” mean? Is it resolved now? For “rigorous multicomponent distillation algorithms”, is it resolved now?
Hello, could I consult you a few questions about the compressor and density in BioSTEAM? Thanks for your help. Wish you a good day.
a) Why cellulose has no defined density in https://github.com/BioSTEAMDevelopmentGroup/Bioindustrial-Park/blob/master/biorefineries/cellulosic/chemicals.py? Does the set density affect the result? For example, the SugarOligomers are not set density. Do I need to give the density for a Chemical I created myself through
bst.Chemical()?b) Do I need to add
phase='g'when I create a gas stream throughbst.Stream()? Do I need to addphase='s'when creating a solid stream throughbst.Stream()?c) Why the isentropic compressor in the example does not consume electricity, but steam in
