Abstract

Computer-aided process design programs, often referred to as process simulators, flow sheet simulators, or flow sheeting packages, are widely used in process design. Aspen
HYSYS by Aspen Technology is one of the major process simulators that are widely used in chemical and thermodynamic process industries today. It specializes on steadystate analysis. System simulation is the calculation of operating variables such as pressure, temperature and flow rates of energy and fluids in a thermal system operating in a steady state. The equations for performance characteristics of the components and thermodynamic properties along with energy and mass balance form a set of
simultaneous equations relating the operating variables. The mathematical description of system simulation is that of solving these set of simultaneous equations which may be
non-linear in nature.
Cryogenics is the branch of engineering that is applied to very low temperature refrigeration applications such as in liquefaction of gases and in the study of physical phenomenon at temperature of absolute zero. The various cryogenic cycles as LINDE cycle, CLAUDE cycle etc govern the liquefaction of various industrial gases as Nitrogen,
Helium etc. The following work aims to simulate the cryogenic cycles with the help of the simulation tool ASPEN HYSYS where all calculations are done at steady state and the results hence obtained.
