This function lets the user calculate the Hildebrand Solubility Parameters.
Note: The best way to use this function is to use the wizard. Select: VLXE/Wizard on the menu
Input
Argument |
Type |
Optional |
Description |
Feed |
Range of double |
No |
A range of cells with the feed |
Temperature |
C# : double |
No |
Temperature, default unit: Kelvin |
Pressure |
C# : double |
No |
Pressure, default unit: Bar |
Output |
C# : string |
No |
Defines the output. See here for more information. |
Components |
C# : string |
No |
Give a list of component names. Only those components are used in the calculations. |
Units |
C# : string |
No |
Set the units used in this calculation. |
Distribution |
C# : object (Expect a range of double) |
Yes |
Gives a range with the distribution of the polymer. Can for example be used if 2 flash calculations are liked as 2 separation tanks. |
BlockMassfraction |
C# : object (Expect a range of double) |
Yes |
Sets the block mass fractions in a co-polymer. |
ProjectSheet |
C#: object |
Yes |
Lets the user set the project sheet to use. |
AdvVLXE |
C# : object |
Yes |
Advanced used. Reserved for use by VLXE. |
AdvUser |
C# : object |
Yes |
Advanced used. Reserved for the user. For example it can be used to force the function update. |
Examples:
A calculation on a system with one components at 1 bar and 298 Kelvin. The feed mass fractions are given in the range: B3.
We want the composition of phase 1 and 2 as the output
=HildebrandSolubilityParameter(B3,1,298, "SP")
Extra
This function is defined in C# as:
public Object[,] HildebrandSolubilityParameter(Range Feed, double Temperature, double Pressure, string Output, string Components, string Units, [In, Optional] object Distribution, [In, Optional] object BlockMassfraction, [In, Optional] object AdvVLXE, [In, Optional] object AdvUser).
