thankyou forthe comment,

TThave not been able to compare Prode with your results since you do not provide compositions,
it doesnt seem you make a iterative ealultion to detect the pressure for maximum fx (as the simple procedure in

supereritcal or two phase whore the HEM (Homogeneus Equibrium Model) is epplicable rode has another option to deal
swith ses where HEEM isnot applicable
or the usual applications simple formulations as AP for ga or vapor elie (base on integration of constant, dea 8) are
much moresimple and yt give acura esl, doesn't make sense to run complex model except for purposes of
comparing results, for example to discover that entering the el k (cp/e) calculated apni can produce wrong results in
many cases,

thanks forthe information
1, same as Fare nuf, agro with the fact that a combined isentropc/isenthalpic model isa better way to model a PSV. Of
course, it should be noted that VC just ccuure in sharp edge orifice rather then nozzle and because flow restricting rea of
SVs closer to a nozle than an orifice, then the PSV nozzle throat (ra point neat there) would be the transformation point
from ISENTROPIC to ISENTHALPIC process while alow is passing throug the PSV In fact, the process from PSV inlet to
mentioned point asa short and ftonless (the unor fiona os i ignored) passage i thermodynamicaly considered
REVERSIBLE (ISNTROPIC) an from mentioned point to PSV outlet due to expansion process is considered ISENTHALPIC
(ORREVERSIBLE), Anyway these fct should be considered to find PSV downstream temperature using any software.
Indeed as far asi know theres no specific points discussion inthe standards such as API. inthis gard
