Models used in flow dynamics can range from simple analytical equations to complex numerical simulations, and they take into account factors such as fluid properties, boundary conditions, and the geometry of the system. Watch the second part of this presentation demonstrating real-world examples of new SuperChems functionality, ranging from boundary control and pressure relief stability to reaction forces on process and relief piping.

Watch this video to learn about SuperChems tools you may not be aware of. Working with binary interaction parameters (BIPs) has now been streamlined and made easier. Also shown are several tips for working with the units function to simplify your tasks, such as converting units on the fly, in classic and visual versions. Have questions on data entry? Here are some ways to enhance your productivity. Also discussed are the piping layout tool and visual graph options.
When introduction of mass and energy into the receiver vessel occurs rapidly, heat exchange between the fluid, vessel walls, and the surroundings becomes negligible. This can lead to high fluid temperatures that may cause material of construction problems, and/or cause the decomposition of chemicals or mixtures containing ethylene or other reactive components. SuperChems™ is a very useful and reliable dynamic simulation software that can provide insight into compression heating for simple and complex systems with chemical reactions and/or non-ideal behavior.
A large oil refinery with a very complex flare network had become so complex that the tools the refinery was using to evaluate the flows through the flare network could not adequately model the system. The facility had six separate flares, three main headers, and hundreds of relief devices that discharged into the system. As the flare system was modified over the years, multiple cross-connection points were added between the headers in an effort to balance the flow rates through the headers with minimal piping changes.
The client was storing reactive materials in vessels that could be subject to fire exposure. They wanted to be sure that the relief protection on the vessels was correctly sized, or if not, what changes were necessary for an effective relief system.
