Introduction to Software for Chemical Engineers

The field of chemical engineering and its link to computer science is in constant evolution and new engineers have a variety of tools at their disposal to tackle their everyday problems. Introduction to Software for Chemical Engineers, Third Edition provides a quick guide to the use of various computer packages for chemical engineering applications. It covers a range of software applications, such as Excel. It also mentions general mathematical packages such as MATLAB, MathCAD, R, and Python. There are process simulators including CHEMCAD, HYSYS and ASPEN. It instructs on equation-based modeling languages like gProms, or specialized software like CFD or DEM codes. Other sections outline optimization software such as GAMS, AIMS, and Julia. All in all, the different packages are introduced and applied to solve typical problems in chemical engineering. Engineers may use these packages to solve problems of fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, mass and energy balances, unit op
