Workshop
The Getting Started module introduces you to some of the basic
concepts necessary for creating simulations in HYSYS. Some of the
things you will learn from this module are:
You will use HYSYS to define three streams. You will learn how to
determine the properties of these streams by using the Property Table
utility.
Learning Objectives
Once you have completed this section, you will be able to:

Adding Streams
In HYSYS, there are two types of streams, Material and Energy. Material
streams have a composition and parameters such as temperature,
pressure and flowrates. They are used to represent Process Streams.
Energy streams have only one parameter, a Heat Flow. They are used to
represent the Duty supplied to or by a Unit Operation.
There are a variety of ways to add streams in HYSYS.

In this exercise, you will add three streams to represent the feeds to an
air stripper. Each stream will be added using a different method of
installation.

Attaching Utilities
The utilities available in HYSYS are a set of useful tools that interact
with your process, providing additional information or analysis of
streams or operations. Once installed, the utility becomes part of the
Flowsheet, automatically calculating when conditions change in the
stream or operation to which it is attached.
As with the majority of objects in HYSYS, there are a number of ways to
attach utilities to streams.
