#283 Heavy Fuel Oil Simulation

[Lalit Kumar]

Hello Daniel ,

I am trying to simulate Heavy Fuel Oil in DWSIM but I couldn't fine it on the component list. I was looking for some other alternative similar property component but that was not available too. Can you please help me with this.

Thanks & Regards,
Lalit Kumar

Heavy Fuel Oils are separated into grades by physical properties. The properties usually relate to how the oil burns. Heavy Fuel Oils are not separated into components. Two routes are available to you. 1. Create a hypothetical component named "Heavy Fuel Oil". 2. Select a Crude Oil with an ASTM D-86 distillation curve. Create Pseudocomponents from the part of the curve above, say 450°F.
