Warnings and Messages

Description
1121

Input for Str.1 Liq.viscosity, 53277.35 mPa*s is beyond the expected range, from 0.01 mPa*s to
1000 mPa*s

1121

Input for Str.1 Liq.viscosity, 21752.67 mPa*s is beyond the expected range, from 0.01 mPa*s to
1000 mPa*s

1128

A further 4 similar warnings for Str.1 Liq.viscosity are omitted for clarity.

1121

Input for Str.2 Liq.density, 177.68 kg/m3 is beyond the expected range, from 200 kg/m3 to 3000
kg/m3

1816

P21: Stream 2 at pressure 91.00997 bar has an unusual value of compressibility, 0.3144747,
(calculated from vapor data at the dew point) and/or of molecular weight 16.65921. This may
affect the accuracy of the calculated results.

1816

P21: Stream 2 at pressure 89.18982 bar has an unusual value of compressibility, 0.3166472,
(calculated from vapor data at the dew point) and/or of molecular weight 16.65921. This may
affect the accuracy of the calculated results.

1826

P57: The dew (or bubble) points for Stream 2 at pressure levels 1 and 2 indicate a lower
temperature at the higher pressure. This is unusual, though not impossible. Check the Physical
Properties Temperature-Enthalpy-Quality data for this stream. Note. This message can apply to
an extrapolated (effective) bubble or dew point. If so, and there are no obvious inconsistencies
in the T-h-x data, the message can be ignored.

1860

The consolidated process conditions for Stream 1, prior to the main calculations, give a heat
load of -53473 kW, for a flow of 1537.683 kg/s, with outlet temperature 6 C and quality (vapor
mass fraction) 0.

1860

The consolidated process conditions for Stream 2, prior to the main calculations, give a heat
load of 53473 kW, for a flow of 85.3056 kg/s, with outlet temperature 2 C and quality (vapor
mass fraction) 1.

1446

The Advanced calculation has converged after 35 iterations

1701

Design calculation successfully completed.

1611

The HTFS flow induced vibration analysis has identified possible or serious problems in one or
more areas: Fluid Elastic Instability: 5 warnings, of which 2 serious; Resonance Assessments:
6 warnings, of which 3 serious.

1661

There is an unsupported straight tube span of 2068.52 mm which exceeds the TEMA maximum
unsupported straight tube span of 1524 mm.

1902

The number of baffles 2 in a shellside flow path is small. Some of the assumptions in the
Shell&Tube thermal model and temperature difference calculation are less valid than normal.

1903

The ratio 2.418431 of an end space length to the baffle space is larger than normal. Shellside
heat transfer and pressure drop calculations may be less accurate than normal, especially if
there is a small number of baffles. Note that the fraction of the overall resistance to heat
transfer due to the shellside is 0.1385429.

1913

There is a risk of phase separation in a tubeside header. The effects of phase separation are not
included in the thermal model.
