Remarks

When a Unit Operation needs to obtain thermodynamic calculations, it will typically perform them on the material objects attached to the Unit ports. However, in some cases, like distillation columns, there may be the need to utilise a different Property Package. Even the user could be requested to choose which thermodynamic model to must be used. All the mechanisms for accessing CAPE-OPEN Property Packages are already in the COSE´s, as part of the functionality necessary for making use of CAPE-OPEN Property Packages. Therefore, instead of each PMC implementing support for performing this selection and creation of thermo engine, delegating that responsibility to the COSE will result in thinner and easier to code Unit Operation Components. If configuration of Material Templates is in the PME side, the only additional functionality the Unit Operation would require is that for accessing the list of already configured Material Templates, and picking one of them.
