In this tutorial, you will learn how to simulate the Heater and HeatX models in Aspen Plus. We will start with an introduction to heat exchangers and their types, followed by an in-depth comparison of the Heater and HeatX models, explaining when to employ heater model and when to use the HeatX model.
You will also learn how to use Design Spec to calculate the required amount of cooling water for cooling a hot fluid in a heat exchanger. Additionally, we will cover how to generate and interpret the temperature profile (TQ curve) for better heat exchanger analysis.
Furthermore, this video will guide you through heat exchanger design and demonstrate how to run the HeatX model in design, simulation, and rating modes, explaining the differences between each mode.
By the end of this tutorial, you will have a clear understanding of heat exchanger modeling, analysis, and design in Aspen Plus.
