Introduction to Software for Chemical Engineers

This book introduces the capabilities of various general purpose, mathematical, process modeling and simulation, optimization, and specialized software for use in solving typical problems in fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, mass and energy balances, unit operations, reactor engineering, and process and equipment design and control. It employs nitric acid production, methanol and ammonia recycle loops, and SO2 oxidation reactor case studies and other practical examples to demonstrate the real-world applicability of Excel, MATLAB®, Mathcad, CHEMCAD, Aspen HYSYS®, gPROMS, CFD, DEM, GAMS, AIMMS, and more.
