DWSIM Simulation: Propane to Propylene with Recycle | Material Balance Explained

In this video, we simulate a complete material balance with recycle using DWSIM for the industrial production of propylene from propane dehydrogenation.

The simulation workflow includes:
• Feed stream definition in DWSIM
• Conversion reactor with 40% single-pass conversion
• Flash separator for complete hydrogen removal
• Distillation column with 90% propylene recovery
• Recycle stream convergence
• Verification of manual material balance results

This video clearly demonstrates how theoretical mass balance equations are implemented in DWSIM, making it ideal for:
• Chemical Engineering students
• DWSIM beginners
• Process simulation labs
• GATE Chemical Engineering preparation
