INTRODUCTION
At UOP, the preparation of a Schedule A design package involves both process and project engineering. While the project engineer is directly responsible for the specifications that make up the design package, all design work on a particular project begins with the process engineer. After determining the overall material balance or mol balance for a unit, the process engineer will then calculate an energy balance. The energy balance, as well as defining the duties for heaters and heat exchangers, allows the calculation of tray loadings around the fractionation columns so that tray sizing may be done. The energy balance also permits the evaluation of alternatives to a particular design problem and the optimization of the process with respect to capital cost and utility consumption.
During this session, UOP methods for calculating various items associated with the preparation of energy balances will be presented. The following topics will be covered:

FIRST L A W OF THERMODYNAMICS
The first law of thermodynamics, which deals with the conservation of energy, can be expressed in equation form as follows:
The various forms of energy in the above equation are defined as follows:
(a) Internal energy (b) Flow energy to force mass m in (or out) of the system at pressure p with unit volume V (c) Kinetic energy of the streams (d) Potential energy referred to some datum (e) Surface energy (may be very large term for sprays, emulsions, etc.)
(0
(g) Work in all its forms done by the system (h) Net change in energy content within the system (changes of inventory, temperature, composition, elevation, etc.)
CQ= heat added to system, ft .Ibflh C W = work done by the system,ft .lbf / h
g = accelerationof gravity, ft/s2 g, = gravitationalconstant,ft ./bm/1bf .s 2
m = massflowrate,Ib/h
ES = surface energy, ft . Ibf / h
A E = net change in energy content of system, ft . Ibf / h
Multiplying out all of the terms in the first law equation gives the units of f?. Ibdh which, when divided by the factor 778 is equivalent to the more customary energy units of Btulh.
For flow processes at constant pressure where changes of internal energy are large, while kinetic, potential and surface energy changes are small, for steady state, the above equation for the first law of thermodynamics reduces to the following:
Internal energy U is related to the translational, rotational, and vibrational energy of the molecules of a substance. Since it is not possible to measure the absolute value of internal energy and, hence enthalpy,
it is necessary to define an arbitrary base state where enthalpy is zero. UOP defines the base state
for all hydrocarbons, water, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide as liquid at 60'F and
the base state for hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon monoxide a s vapor at 60'F
and zero psia.
The choice of a base state temperature is not important, since all use of enthalpy in the design of equipment (e.g. heaters and heat exchangers) is dependent on the difference in enthalpy between inlet and outlet streams. Nowhere is the absolute value of enthalpy used to specify a piece of equipment.
Although enthalpy is a function of both temperature and pressure, two special cases are met where the pressure effect may be neglected: (1) The enthalpy of an ideal gas is independent of pressure, and the pressure effect can be ignored when the ideal gas law is used; (2) the enthalpies of liquids and solids are not greatly affected by pressure, and under ordinary conditions, unless pressures of several atmospheres are involved, the effect of pressure on the enthalpy of a liquid or solid may be neglected. At constant pressure, or under conditions where the effect of pressure on enthalpy may be neglected, the enthalpy difference over a temperature range is given by the following equation:
Where:
C' = means specific betweenT2 andT1,Btu/lb." F
P
= enthalpy,Btu/h
The latent heat of vaporization. The effect of pressure on vapor enthalpy. The specific heat of the ideal vapor.
There are several methods available for calculating the latent heat of vaporization of a pure component, one of which is the famous Clapeyron equation:
Where:
VP = vapor pressure, psia
T = absolute temperature," R
R = gas constant, 7.987 Btu/lbmol." R
3.
Since this form of the equation has been integrated assuming that the latent heat is constant over a temperature range, it has limited applicability.
In 1938, Kistyakowski proposed the following equation for the calculation of the latent heat of hydrocarbons and other non-polar compounds:
Where:
For calculation of latent heat at temperatures other than the normal boiling point, the following equation by Watson can be used:
Where:
= latent heat at temperatureT (" R),Btu/lbmol or Btullb
Although this is a very good relationship, it seems to predict heats of vaporization within only about 5 pct generally. This is not considered satisfactory for UOP design calculations, hence the approach of comparing the latent heat of two materials at equivalent conditions, where one of the materials is known and understood thoroughly.
It can be shown rigorously that the ratio of the latent heat of a substance to the latent heat of a reference substance is very nearly a constant at the same reduced temperature, or
Where: q = latentheatratio
A = latent heat of pure component, Btu/lb 2, = la tent hea t of water at the reduced temperature pure component, Btullb
By knowing the latent heat of a pure component at its normal boiling point through experimentation or estimation using one of the above equations, the latent heat ratio can be determined. This then allows the calculation of the latent heat at any other temperature with reasonably good accuracy. Because its properties are well known, water was chosen as the reference substance and the variation of the latent heat with reduced temperature was very carefully fitted over the whole temperature range from freezing to critical, using the normal boiling point as the basis. The latent heat for water can be calculated from the following equation:
Where:
A , = latentheatatT,,Btu/lb
T r = reduced temperature of pure component n = exponent which is a function of T,
The exponent "nu in the above equation can be determined by interpolation from Table No.1 or from the following equation:
The attached Enthalpy Correction for Gases and Vapors chart by Hougen and Watson is based on the equation of state (PV = ZRT) and the theorem of corresponding states. It allows the calculation of the correction to be applied to the ideal vapor enthalpy to account for the effects of pressure or non-ideality of a pure component. Note that the units are gmcaVgmmoVK which is exactly equivalent to Bt~/lbmol/~R.
The specific heat of an ideal vapor is commonly available in the literature in the form of curves, tabulations, or equations in the form:
Where:
Cp = specific heat, Btullb. F
T = temperature, O F o r 0R o r 0C
In order to determine the change in ideal vapor enthalpy for a compound between two temperatures, it is necessary to integrate the above equation, which results in the following:
T~-T,)+B(T$ -T~)/~+c(T:-~:)/3]
Where:
AH = change in vapor enthalpy betweenT2 and T I ,Btulh
Consider the typical enthalpy versus temperature curve for a pure component given in Figure 1. For convenience, we will use the following subscript notation:
Figure 1
Enthalpy vs TemperatureDiagram

T2 Temperature, O F
We have now seen how to calculate the latent heat of vaporization, the specific heat of the ideal vapor, and the effect of pressure on enthalpy. In order to calculate the saturated liquid enthalpy Hsl at T2, we make use of all of these concepts, which may be summarized in the following procedure:
1.
2.
Calculate the latent heat at 60F and add it to H,lV60 to get the saturated vapor enthalpy HSv,60.
H s v , 6 ~= Hsl,60 + jb60
3.
Calculate the enthalpy correction at 60F due to lack of ideal behavior from the Enthalpy Correction for Gases and Vapors chart. Then:
4.
Calculate the change in ideal gas enthalpy between T2 and 60F from known Cp.
5.
Calculate the enthalpy correction at T2 due to lack of ideal behavior from the Enthalpy Correction for Gases and Vapors chart. Then:
6.
Calculate the latent heat at T2 and subtract it from the saturated vapor enthalpy at T2 to get the saturated liquid enthalpy at T2.
HsI = saturated liquid enthalpy, Btullb Hsv = saturated vapor enthalpy, Btullb
Obviously, it is not too often that we are able to work with a system that has a only one pure component or even a manageable number of pure components. If we are working with a mixture of a few pure components, it will be necessary :o blend the enthalpies of these components to get the enthalpy of the mixture. When computing vapor mixture enthalpy, mixing of component contributions is
done at zero pressure while accumulating pseudo critical temperature and pressure values for the mixture. The entire mixture is then corrected for pressure using pseudo
Where:
w; = mass flowrate of component i, Ib/h HSl,; = saturated liquid enthalpy of component i , Btullb
H; = ideal vapor enthalpy of component i , Btullb
For liquid mixture enthalpy, the contribution of each component is computed (saturated liquid) for its vapor pressure at the stated temperature. If a component is at a temperature above its critical, the enthalpy contribution to the liquid mixture is assumed to lie along a curve (enthalpy diagram) through the critical point and parallel with the ideal vapor enthalpy curve. The difference between the ideal vapor enthalpy and the liquid enthalpy above the critical temperature can be calculated from the following equation: AHcp = 5 . 2 2 9 2 ( ~ ~ / m wt) ol
Where:
A HCp= enthalpy difference, Btullb

1 , = 153.6Btu/lb(latent heat at normal boiling point)
SOLUTION
The exponent "nuin the equation for the latent heat of water can either be calculated from the equation for n or interpolaied from the data given in Table No. 1.
Then:
and:
If we are designing a system wherein the materials are a blend of many components such as naphtha,
kerosine, or diesel oil, the previously described method for calculation of pure component enthalpies is not very practical, even if one has access to a computer. In order to calculate the ideal vapor enthalpy or, for that matter, saturated vapor enthalpy or saturated liquid enthalpy, we make use of the fact that ideal vapor enthalpies, when plotted against the ideal vapor enthalpy of one reference substance at equal
reduced temperature produce nearly perfect straight lines from about 0.3 to 1.5 Tr. We thus need
only two values of ideal vapor enthalpy to establish values over the entire range of interest. This is done as follows:
1.
Given the API gravity and ASTM distillation for a material, calculate the UOP K, molecular weight, molal average boiling point (NBP), critical temperature, critical pressure and estimate the vapor pressure at 60" F.
2.
Using the API gravity and UOP K, obtain the linear specific heat of the liquid at 60" F and the normal boiling point (NBP) from chart RE F-1. The saturated liquid enthalpy at the normal boiling point can then be calculated as follows:
Where:
NBP = normal boiling point, " F
3.
Using molecular weight and normal boiling point, obtain the latent heat of vaporization at the normal boiling point from chart RE F-3. Then, add the latent heat to the saturated liquid enthalpy to get the saturated vapor enthalpy at the normal boiling point.
4.
Calculate the enthalpy correction at the normal boiling point due to lack of ideal behavior from the Enthalpy Correction for Gases and Vapors chart. Then,
This is then one of the two points required to define the ideal vapor enthalpy curve for the mixture.
5.
Using the reduced temperature for the substance at its normal boiling point, calculate "n" for water, and the latent heat of water ( A w ) ?t this temperature.
6.
Calculate the latent heat ratio, q, for the substance from the following:
7.
Calculate the reduced temperature of the substance at the datum temperature, 60F from the following:
8.
Again, calculate "nu for water using the reduced temperature calculated in step 7. Then, compute the latent heat of vaporization of water ('w.60) for this reduced temperature.
9.
Compute the latent heat of vaporization of the substance at 60F from the following:
10.
Since the datum liquid has zero enthalpy at 60F, the enthalpy of the saturated vapor at 60F is equal to the latent heat of vaporization at 60F.
11.
At 6OSF, calculate the reduced vapor pressure. Use this to calculate the enthalpy correction at 60F due to lack of ideal behavior from the Enthalpy Correction for Gases and Vapors chart. Then,
This is then the second point required to fix the ideal vapor enthalpy at any temperature.
12.
At each of the reduced temperatures for the substance, calculate the corresponding temperature for normal hexane from the following:
13.
For each of the temperatures calculated for normal hexane in step 12, calculate the ideal vapor enthalpy of normal hexane from the equation given in Table 2.
14.
The ideal vapor enthalpy of substance "X" is linearly related to the ideal vapor enthalpy of normal hexane at equal reduced temperature (see Figure 2). Compute the slope "B" and intercept "A" of a straight line through the two points from the following:
Figure 2
H * ~ 6 ~
H*~BP
As you can see, this procedure can be extremely tedious and time consuming unless one is able to perform the calculations on a computer. Therefore, UOP has simplified the calculation of the enthalpy for these types of mixtures through the use of PD chart 870 (liquids) and PD chart 189 (vapors). These charts require only the UOP K and cubic average boiling point (CABP) for a mixture.
HEAT OF REACTION
Consider the enthalpy-temperature curve for a reactor as given in Figure 3. The feed to the reactor is heated from 60'F to the reactor inlet temperature (TI) along path 1.
Figure 3
Heat o f Reaction
Temperature, O F
For a truly adiabatic reactor without any heat loss, the reaction would proceed along path 2 to the outlei temperature (T2) and the enthalpy of the products would equal the enthalpy of the reactants. The products are then cooled back down to 60'F along path 3, but we note that their enthalpy is no longer zero, which is in violation of the UOP definition for the base state enthalpy of most materials. In order to overcome this apparent discrepancy, UOP considers that the enthalpy of the products will be different (either larger or greater) than the enthalpy of the reactants by the value of the heat of reaction. The enthalpy will actually follow path 4 through the reactor and path 5 when the products are cooled down to 60'F so that the enthalpy of the products is equal to zero.
In order to calculate the heat of reaction, given the amounts and the chemical species of the reacting components and their products, we can either sum up the heats of combustion or the heats of formation. UOP uses the gross values of the heat of combustion (the larger value). This is based on cooling the products to make liquid water and gaseous carbon dioxide. We also use the higher value of the heat of combustion for hydrogen, also condensing to liquid water. Heats of combustion, as given in the PD charts or in the literature, are always negative, whereas the heat of formation can be either positive or negative. Heats of combustion or heats of formation must be consistent with the UOP defined base state for the pure component.
Heat of reaction can have the units of Btullb, kcallkg, Btullbmol, or kcallkgmol. However, care must be taken in expressing the heat of reaction in terms of the mass or mols of one of the reactants or products. Consider the following hypothetical chemical reaction:
If the heat of reaction is to be calculated in terms of Btullbmol of product D, then it can be calculated from either of the following:
AH, = (heat of combustion)rea, - (heat of combustion)prods
or:
If the heat of reaction is calculated from the first equation above by adding up the molal heats of combustion of the reactants and subtracting the molal heats of combustion of the products, the sign of A Hr will tell if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. If the sum for the products (that is, a greater negative value) exceeds that for the reactants, the products contain more heating value than the reactants and the reaction is endothermic, or you have to put heat in to make it go. In this case, our sign convention requires that A Hr comes out positive.
The reason for giving the heat of reaction a negative value in the basic equation is that if heat were removed from the process to keep it isothermal, you think of subtracting heat from the reactor. If the heat of reaction is negative, this amount of heat has to be added to the reactor feed on our heat and weight balance forms in order to get the heat content of the reactor effluent, providing that it is an adiabatic reactor. A safe way to remember this is always to subtract the heat of reaction from ,the reactor feed enthalpy to get the reactor effluent enthalpy.

Problem #9
Look up the heats of combustion for the reactants and product from chart RE-C-lc. Note that the heat of combustion for propylene is for the gas phase. Since the UOP enthalpy base state for propylene is liquid, the latent heat of vaporization must be added to the heat of combustion of the gas to get the heat of combustion of the liquid. The latent heat of vaporization of propylene was determined to be 150 Btutlb at 60F in Problem 7.

Since the reaction is exothermic, the enthalpy of the products will be greater than the enthalpy of the feeds. Then:
Finding the temperature of the reactor effluent is now a trial-and-error solution. Trial 1 at 450F and 350 psia,
This is close enough to the required enthalpy of 19.45 x lo6 Btu/h to say that the outlet temperature is

Problem #10
Using the API gravity and UOP K, obtain the linear specific heat of the liquid at 60F and the normal boiling point (NBP) from chart RE F-1.
The saturated liquid enthalpy at the normal boiling point can then be calculated as follows:
Using the molecular weight and normal boiling point, obtain the latent heat of vaporization at the normal boiling point from chart RE F-3.
Then, add the latent heat to the saturated liquid enthalpy to get the saturated vapor enthalpy at the normal boiling point.
Calculate the enthalpy correction at the normal boiling point due lo lack of ideal behavior from the Enthalpy Correction for Gases and Vapors chart. Then,
Then:
This is then o n e of the t w o points required t o d e f i n e t h e ideal vapor enthalpy c u r v e for t h e mixture.
Using the reduced temperature for the naphtha at its normal boiling point, calculate "n" for water, and the latent heat of water
(A,)
at this temperature.
A ,
= 860 Btullb
Calculate 'the latent heat ratio, q, for the naphtha from the following:
9= ; l ~ ~ ~ / A w
= 124.51860 = 0.1448
Calculate the reduced temperature of the naphtha at the datum temperature, 60F, from the following:
T,,,,
= 519.7/TC
= 519.7/1104=0.471
Again, calculate "n" for water using this reduced temperature. Then, compute the latent heat of for this reduced temperature. vaporization of water (hw,60)
A, = 970.3[(1- 0.471)/(0.4235)]
0.327
Compute the latent heat of vaporization of the naphtha at 60F from the following:
;160
=q(~w.60)
= (0.1448)(1043) = 151.0Btu/lb
Since the datum liquid has zero enthalpy at 60F, the enthalpy of the saturated vapor at 60'F is equal to the latent heat of vaporization at 60'F.
Use this to calculate the enthalpy correction at 60F due to lack of ideal behavior from the Enthalpy Correction for Gases and Vapors chart. Since this point is off the low end of the chart, assume the correction is negligibly small.
Then:
This is then the second point required to fix the ideal vapor enthalpy at any temperature.
At each of the reduced temperatures for the naphtha, calculate the corresponding temperature for normal
For each of the above temperatures calculated for normal hexane, calculate the ideal vapor enthalpy of normal hexane from the equation given in Table 2 of the notes.
The ideal vapor enthalpy of the naphtha is linearly related to the ideal vapor enthalpy of normal hexane at equal reduced temperature (see Figure 2 in the notes). Compute the slope "B" and intercept "A" of a straight line through the two points from the following:
