    I am struggling with this very basic task - creating a black oil compound.
    If I use the wizard from the start screen, I can see how to create the model.
    But if I open compound creator study in DWSIM, I cannot see how to create a black oil compound.
    Also what are the units for GOR in the wizard....it's not clear. It just says ().
    Please advise.
    Next I have tried to use the black oil model (created using the wizard) in a simple DWSIM project. Material stream into pipe segment doesn't run.
    Is there a simple example somewhere of a black oil model that works?

    I hope you know that GOR is Gas to Oil Ratio. It was originally a way to tie a light ends gas analysis with a Crude Oil heavy ends analysis, an ASTM- 86. The gas accompanying oil was measured in MMSCF, where Roman numeral for 1,000 is M, so MM is 1E6; SCF is Standard Cubic Feet. Standard conditions vary from place to place, but usually is 1 atm and 77°F.
    The Crude oil is measured in Bbls, Barrels. If I remember correctly that is 38 US gallon barrels. There is a story there, but I'll refrain from telling it here. Hope that info helps
