Advanced Tutorials

These tutorials cover complete industrial process simulations. Each one builds a multi-unit flowsheet from scratch, based on real-world chemical processes. The code is adapted from DWSIM's Validation Test suite, which means every tutorial produces numerically validated results.

Tutorials

1. Refrigeration Cycle - Propane (R-290) vapor-compression refrigeration with compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. Calculates COP.

2. Ammonia Synthesis - Haber-Bosch single-pass: compression, preheating, equilibrium reactor, cooling, and separator. Validates atomic balances.

3. Benzene/Toluene Separation - Binary aromatic distillation with preheat exchanger.

4. Natural Gas Processing - Multi-component dew point control and LPG recovery.

5. Ethanol Plant - Glucose fermentation with conversion reactor and product separation.

6. Reverse Osmosis - Membrane desalination of seawater.

7. Methanol Synthesis - Syngas-to-methanol with equilibrium reactor and recycle loop.

8. Divided-Wall Column - Three products from one shell: wall split optimization, molecular tracking and the energy saving against two columns (Patreon level 2).

9. Distillation Curves and Secondary Specifications - A straight-run distillate cut into naphtha, kerosene, diesel and gas oil: product distillation curves checked against Jet A-1 and EN 590, then the column converged on the kerosene and diesel D86 95 % points.
