"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 from Excel and general mathematical packages such as MATLAB and MathCAD, R, and Python to process simulators, CHEMCAD and ASPEN, equation-based modeling languages, gProms, optimization software such as GAMS, AIMS, Julia, and specialized software like CFD or DEM codes. The different packages are introduced and applied to solve typical problems in fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, mass and energy balances, unit operations, reactor engineering, process and equipment design and control. This new edition is updated throughout to reflect software updates. It emphasizes the addition of Sigmapro, due to the importance of life cycle assessment, as well as general statistics software, SPSS or Minitab, that students can use to analyze lab data. The book also includes new chapters on flowsheeting drawing and LOOP Pro. It offers a global idea of the capabilities of the software used in the chemical engineering field and provides examples for solving real-world problems. Written by leading experts, this handbook is a must-have reference for chemical engineers looking to grow in their careers through the use of new and improving computer software. Its user-friendly approach to simulation and optimization as well as its example-based presentation of the software, makes it a perfect teaching tool for both undergraduate and master levels"--
