Pressure Flow solving

Aspen Hysys has a pressure flow sovler, where the pressure is used to calculate the flow, or vice versa.

With a valve in IDAES you can do the same thing. You can specify

  • Inlet Temperature
  • Inlet Pressure
  • Valve Coefficient
  • Valve Opening Fraction
  • Outlet Pressure

and it will calculate the inlet and outlet flow rates for that pressure drop, valve position, and valve coefficient.
