Technical characteristics |
ProPhyPlus is based on Simulis Thermodynamics, ProSim's powerful thermophysical properties calculation server. By using the same rigorous and proven property models and data, this ensures full consistency between ProSim's software results but also reduced learning time.
It provides an Microsoft-Windows based interface that makes full use of the graphical and functional capabilities of the platform, allowing unmatched prediction, evaluation, analysis and use of high-quality physical properties.
ProPhyPlus also implements the standardized CAPE-OPEN interfaces ("Thermodynamic plug" and "Thermodynamic socket"). It generates "Property Packages" (compound package and adapted thermodynamic profile) that can be used with other simulation applications that are CAPE-OPEN compliant. Furthermore, third party thermodynamic packages can be used in ProPhyPlus.

Calculation of physical properties of fluids and their mixtures |
 |
ProPhyPlus is an advanced and convenient standalone software dedicated to the calculation of thermophysical properties (thermodynamic and transport) of fluids and their mixtures, over a wide range of temperatures and pressures.
It provides quick access to fluid phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of pure components and mixtures.
Thanks to its power and user friendliness, the analysis of single and multi-components mixtures thermodynamic behavior has never been so easy. Properties calculation results and diagrams can be obtained in only a few clicks and further processed to have an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon involved.
ProPhyPlus does not require any programming skills and quickly becomes an essential calculations tool for the engineer.
ProPhyPlus accurately models physical properties and phase equilibria for most fluid found in Chemical, Petrochemical, Refining, Oil and Gas and other process industries.
Objectives and applications
ProPhyPlus enables to calculate material properties and phases equilibria on single component or on systems that include up to 200 chemical substances.
Using ProPhyPlus , the engineer is able to perform:
|  |
Accurate physical properties predictions including transport properties (specific heat, viscosity...) and thermodynamic properties (enthalpy, compressibility factor...) |
| |
Phase equilibria calculations with a wide variety of rigorous flashes available for liquid-vapor, liquid-liquid, liquid-liquid-vapor (bubble and dew temperatures, bubble and dew pressures, flash at given enthalpy...) or liquid-solid equilibrium (salt formation...). |
| |
Generation of property tables and charts such as flash curves, phase envelope diagrams, TPxy diagrams, residue maps, and PT-envelopes. |
| |
Prediction of missing pure component properties using predictive methods. |
| |
Regression of pure component temperature dependant properties from experimental data. |
| |
Prediction of binary interactions parameters in non-ideal mixtures with group contribution methods to complement the parameters included in the standard BIP database. |
| |
Management of "private" databases with specific in-house or modified components. |
| |
Fine tuning of standard property models and development of new methods by integrating custom equations. |
| |
Many other services: ternary diagram plotting, petroleum cut properties generation, calculation of residue curve maps, PSF file generation. |
All graphics and results tables can be copied and pasted in MS-Office applications, in order to further use the results or illustrate reports.
Thermodynamic Features
ProPhyPlus provides users with a convenient and comprehensive environment that includes in particular:
| |
A property database for more than 2000 pure components based on the AIChE's DIPPR® database and enriched by ProSim's thermodynamic experts. Furthermore, the last release of AIChE's DIPPR® database can be added (optional). |
| |
The ability to estimate missing properties of pure components from experimental data or built-in methods. |
| |
A binary interaction parameters database, for requiring activity coefficient models. When missing, the parameters can be estimated from experimental data or group contribution methods. |
| |
An extensive thermodynamic models library selected for their reliability and efficiency. Included mathematical algorithms can be applied to tackle highly non-ideal, two-liquid phase, electrolyte, and petroleum systems.
o Equations of state: Soave-Redlich-Kwong, Peng-Robinson, Lee-Kesler-Plöcker, Benedict Webb Rubbin Starling.
o Activity coefficients models: NRTL, UNIQUAC, UNIFAC.
o Combined approach models: MHV2, PSRK, NRTL-PR.
o Electrolytes: Edwards, UNIQUAC electrolytes, ULPDHS.
