Hello,
My name is Emmanuel. I am a chemical engineer. I understand you are looking for help with Aspen simulation of heat pump cycle.
I will say yes, a heat pump cycle can be used in a distillation column to increase the efficiency of system, which in turn could reduce cost.
I just completed a simulation of Organic Rankine Cycle.
Kindly contact me if you have not given the project to someone else.
Thank you as I await your response.
Sincerely,
Emmanuel
