Learning Outcomes#

  • Demonstrate use of the Pump unit model in IDAES

  • Demonstrate different simulation options available

Problem Statement#

In this example, we will pump a stream of water at atmospheric pressure to a pressure of 201325 Pa using a simple pump unit model. We will be using the IAPWS property package for the water properties. It is assumed that the pump operates at steady state.

The inlet specifications are as follows:

  • Flow Rate = 100 mol/s

  • Mole fraction (H2O) = 1

  • Pressure = 101325 Pa

  • Temperature = 298.15 K

We will simulate 2 different cases, depending on the operating specifications by the user:

Case 1:In this case, we will specify the pump efficiency and the pressure increase variable on the pump unit model.

  • Pressure Increase = 100000 Pa

  • Pump Efficiency = 0.8

Case 2: In this case, we will specify the pump efficiency but will specify the pressure of the outlet stream directly.

  • Outlet Pressure = 201325 Pa

  • Pump efficiency = 0.8

IDAES documentation reference for pump model: https://idaes-pse.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

Setting up the problem in IDAES#

In the following cell, we will be importing the necessary components from Pyomo and IDAES.

# Import objects from pyomo package
from pyomo.environ import ConcreteModel, SolverFactory, value, units

# Import the main FlowsheetBlock from IDAES. The flowsheet block will contain the unit model
from idaes.core import FlowsheetBlock

# Import idaes logger to set output levels
import idaes.logger as idaeslog

# Create the ConcreteModel and the FlowsheetBlock, and attach the flowsheet block to it.
m = ConcreteModel()

m.fs = FlowsheetBlock(
    dynamic=False
)  # dynamic or ss flowsheet needs to be specified here


# Import the IAPWS property package to create a properties block for the flowsheet
from idaes.models.properties import iapws95
from idaes.models.properties.helmholtz.helmholtz import PhaseType

# Add properties parameter block to the flowsheet with specifications
m.fs.properties = iapws95.Iapws95ParameterBlock(phase_presentation=PhaseType.L)
