for those interested to Mathcad Thermodynamic applications
including distillation this blog may be interesting,

thanks pbel,
I have not Mathcad but the page discussing how to optimize column operating is very interesting and I recommend reading,
by the way I was not aware of applications of contour plot method for those analysis,

I read regularly that blog,
the posts about proper design of reactors and distillation columns
are in my opinion very interesting,

Thank you

Thank you.

the last posts explains how to solve different reactors with Prode Properties + Mathcad,
also it introduces a different method capable to mix many streams (base method is limited to two streams only),
interesting stuff...

[carlo.stenali]

I agree,
that can be useful as reactions are not supported in base version of Prode Properties,
(well, of course you can solve based on energy of formation but Mathcad simplifies the work)

Prode Properties includes Gibbs and heat of formation in database for all components,
it's easy to solve simple reactions

by the way you can use equivalent procedures in Excel or Matlab,
libraries in Matlab and Mathcad have probably much more numerical methods than Excel
but for simple optimization Excel has a good solver.

Thank you very much
