From Chemical Engineering Software Part 1

BDSIM Binary Distillation Simulator
Binary distillation software generates graphic McCabe -Thiele diagrams, composition profiles, Xlk/Xhk ratio profiles and Lambda function profiles. Performs NTS, Column diameter and HETP calculations for any set of feed and product compositions, R/Rmin and relative volatily of components to be separated. Free demo version is available for download upon password request.

ChemicaLogic SteamTab Duo
Steam table with a choice of property formulation for all popular spreadsheet applications. Fully functional demo available.

Chemical Reaction Network Toolbox
Download a DOS program (390 kB) from Marty Feinberg to analyze the kinetics of chemical reaction networks. After downloading execute the archive "crntpack.exe" to extract the program files and read "crntpack.txt". Runs also under Windows 3.11 and Windows 95.

Combusem
Combustion Emission Simulation and Gas Dispersion Analysis for Boilers, Power Plants, Heaters, etc. Combusem calculates CO, SO2, NOx, CO2, and particle emissions, comparing to the allowable emmision levels and severe exposure concentration levels. The program is useful for emmision design and environmental impact analysis. PC compatible, DOS or Windows. Free demo availble.
