Hello fellow researchers,
I am currently involved in a project that involves conversion of biomass to bio-oil using liquefaction technique. My experiment is conducted in a high-pressure, high-temperature batch stirred tank reactor. I will be using Water-Ethanol as liquefaction medium for my experiments and I need to find out the critical temperature (Tc) and pressure (Pc) of this mixture, to understand the maximum operating pressure and temperature that I can use for my experiments.
I wanted to find the Tc and Pc using Aspen Hysys and I would be grateful if I could suggestions as how I can use the software to determine these values. I am open to suggestions for working with other software, such as Aspen Plus, as well.
Thank you
