 Hysys Utilities (continued)
 Boiling Point Curves
The Boiling Point Curves utility, which will generally be used in
conjunction with characterized oils from the Oil Manager,
allows you to obtain the results of a laboratory style analysis for
your simulation streams. Simulated distillation data including
TBP, ASTM D86, D86 (Corr.), D1160(Vac), D1160(Atm) and
D2887 as well as critical property
data for each cut point and cold property data are calculated.
The data can be viewed in tabular format or graphically.

The object for the analysis can be a stream, a phase on any stage
of a tray section, or one of the phases in a separator, in a
condenser or in a reboiler. You select the basis for the
calculations and you can specify the boiling ranges for the
simulated distillation data.

 Critical Property
The Critical Property Utility calculates both the true and pseudo
critical temperature, pressure, volume and compressibility factor
for a fully defined stream.

Before the Critical Property Utility is accessed, set up a Fluid

Package using the Peng Robinson property method and the
required components. Install the stream Feed.

 Hysys Utilities (continued)
 Envelope Utility
The Envelope utility allows you to examine relationships
between selected parameters,for any stream of known
composition,including streams with only one component.
Vapor-Liquid Envelopes may be plotted for the following
variables:
•Pressure-Temperature
•Pressure-Volume
•Pressure-Enthalpy
•Pressure-Entropy
•Temperature-Volume
•Temperature-Enthalpy
•Temperature-Entropy

Since the Envelope is calculated on a dry basis,you must

be careful when applying the utility to multi-component
mixtures that contain H 2 O or any other component which
can form a second liquid phase.
Note also that the Envelope is restricted to the Peng

 Pinch Utility
Pinch technology is a methodology which is used to
optimize the use of process heat exchange and utilities in
complicated processes. The HYSYS Pinch utility provides
the necessary tools to apply the pinch principles in the
design of efficient heat exchanger networks.

 Property Table
The Property Table utility allows you to examine property
trends over a range of conditions in both tabular and
graphical formats. Using a stream of known
composition,you target two independent variables
and their respective ranges of interest. The range of each
independent variable is distinct and can be set as either an
incremental range or a selection of specific values.Next,you
relate which dependent variables are to be displayed at each
combination of the independent variables.

 Hysys Utilities (continued)
 Tray Sizing
With the Tray Sizing utility you can perform design and
rating sizing calculations on part or all of a converged
column. Packing or tray information can be specified
relating to specific tower internals such as tray dimensions
or packing sizes,design flooding and pressure drop
specifications.Results include tower diameter,pressure
drop,flooding, tray dimensions,etc.

 Vessel Sizing
The Vessel Sizing utility allows you to size and cost
installed separator, tank and reactor unit operations. You can
select a vertical or horizontal orientation for the separator.
To obtain a more effective analysis for your vessel, changes
can be made to the default parameters provided by
HYSYS.

 Hysys Utilities (continued)
 Pipe Sizing
The Pipe Sizing utility allows you to calculate the Pressure
drop by defining the pipe Diameter and Schedule or to size
the pipe Diameter by defining the Pressure drop and
Schedule.

The Pipe Sizing utility work with one or two phase stream.
In the case of two phase stream it state also the flow
regime.
 Pipe Segment
The pipe segment is used to simulate a wide variety of
piping situations ranging from single/multiphase plant
piping with rigorous heat transfer estimation,to large
capacity looped pipeline problems. It offers two pressure
drop correlations:one developed by Gregory,Aziz
and Mandhane,and the other by Beggs and Brill. Four levels
of complexity in heat transfer estimation allow you to find a
solution as rigorous as required while allowing for quick
generalized solutions to well-known problems.
