Simulation studies of n-heptane/toluene system were performed using Aspen Plus. The comparative study of different entrainers: N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP), Phenol, and Sulfolane for separation of this system was done. Sensitivity analysis was carried out to optimize flowsheets. The criteria to determine the appropriate solvent for the said system...
Biodiesel is a promising alternative to conventional fuels. Research on biodiesel has vast experimental findings, but the outcomes are not always unidirectional. The sequence of unit operation for various transesterification processes is studied. The review work emphasizes on the separation and purification of Jatropha‐derived biodiesel. The study...
Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium data for pure components cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) and cyclopentanol (CP) and their binary mixtures was generated using a modified ebulliometer. This data has been reported for five different pressures in the range of 71.50 to 101.79 kPa. Pure component boiling points were correlated using the Antoine equatio...
Thermodynamic analysis of hydrogen production by steam reforming and autothermal reforming of bio-butanol was investigated for solid oxide fuel cell applications. The effects of reformer operating conditions, e.g., reformer temperature, steam to carbon molar ratio, and oxygen to carbon molar ratio, were investigated with the objective to maximize h...
Abstract
Petroleum fuels are being used at a rapid rate and there is a need for renewable alternative fuels. Biodiesel (mainly a mixture of fatty acid alkyl esters FAAE’s) is a potential alternative to petro-diesel. Combustion modeling of biodiesel requires vapor pressure data. The experimental determination of vapor pressure of FAAE’s is difficult...
Biofuel is promising alternative to maintain both human health and environment quality better by reducing harmful emission from biofuel runs diesel engines. Though biodiesel satisfy the ASTM and EN limits, it cannot be used alone in diesel engine due to its high kinematic viscosity and density and also lower oxidation stability and heating value; h...
The isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium data predictions for the binary system of cyclopentyl methyl ether and cyclopentanol were obtained using UNIFAC and modified UNIFAC Dort mund method. Group identification was done by using artist free software with Dortmund Data Bank. The interaction parameters in the UNIFAC and modified UNIFAC Dortmund method,...
Ionic liquids (IL), considered as green solvents, are useful in different industrial applications. Vapour pressure is one of the key properties of IL for designing different processes. Recently, the zero pressure fugacity approach was proposed to predict the vapour pressures of IL using cubic equations of state. In the present work, this approach i...
Biodiesel is one of the most promising alternates to fossil fuels. Production process of biodiesel requires separation of fatty acids (FAs) and their esters from the other products and reactants. This requires the phase equilibrium studies of the FA and their esters. For phase equilibrium study through equation of state (EOS), accurate prediction o...
Ionic liquids (ILs) are eco-friendly solvents due to their low vapor pressure. Properties such as density should be known as it affects the mass transfer rates. Due to its limitless combinations, it is impractical to measure densities experimentally. For the first time, the cohesion factor in the cubic equations of state (CEOS) is used to predict t...
Removal of sulfur from gasoline is one of the major processes in refineries. Designing of removal process requires phase equilibrium data of the sulfur with various hydrocarbon systems. 3-Methylthiphene is an organic sulfur compound found in gasoline. In the present work VLE data of 3-Methylthiophene with various hydrocarbons were modeled using gen...
A simple and generalised expression for adjustable parameter for pure ionic liquids in conjunction with predictive-Soave- Redlich-Kwong (PSRK) approach is presented for prediction of pure IL density. The proposed expression is based on the correlation developed by Nasrifar and Moshfeghian for perfection of saturated liquid density for pure compound...
The continuous increasing demand for energy and the decreasing petroleum resources has led to the search for alternative fuel which is renewable and sustainable. The quality and efficiency of Biodiesel fuel was found to be more significant than petro diesel. For predicting the properties of Biodiesel, various models were developed using various fee...
Fossil fuels are depleting at a rapid rate, due to their ever increasing demand and so there is a need for alternative and sustainable fuel. Alternative fuels are needed and Biodiesel can be a promising alternative for diesel fuels. Vapor Pressure is a very important property of biodiesel because volatility, safety and stability of fuel depend on i...

The approach described in one of our previous papers (Jr. Taiwan Inst. Chem. Eng., 41, pp. 570–578, 2010) was applied to the Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation of state to develop compound-specific parameters for four different types of cohesion factor models. Compound-specific parameters for nearly 300 compounds are listed in the paper and can be utiliz...
Major factor in the success of predictive capability of cubic equations of state (CEOS) is the temperature dependency of the cohesion factor. Accurate prediction of vapour pressure is the yardstick for comparing various cohesion factor relationships. For polar and weekly polar compounds generalized expression fails to perform well in predicting vap...
Chemical industries have undergone a paradigm shift in the designing process in the last decade, and most of them now rely on process simulators for designing and optimisation. Simulators are heavily dependent on thermodynamic models for the proper outcome of any simulation problem, in general, and phase equilibrium problem, in particular. Equation...
Major factor in the success of predictive capability of cubic equations of state (CEOS) is its temperature dependency through cohesion factor. Six cohesion function models for Peng Robinson (PR) Equations of State (EOS), available in literature have been compared. Comparison is based on estimation of pure component vapor pressures. Three hundred an...

Please also spread in your circle so that we can get maximum inputs and our analysis can be improved. The responses are sought from any higher education institute and it is not restricted to Engineering institutions only.
Thank you in advance.
Trying to understand pros and cons of online teaching a course on Process Simulations. All the practicals done on Aspen.HYSYS , POLYMATH, MATLAB and Microsoft Excel are uploaded on YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/user/milindhj). Will develop a questionnaire to assess the response from students. Feedback on any of the video would help me to do better.
