A step-by-step guide for students (and faculty) on the use of Aspen in teaching thermodynamics

Used for a wide variety of important engineering tasks, Aspen Plus software is a modeling tool used for conceptual design, optimization, and performance monitoring of chemical processes. After more than twenty years, it remains one of the most popular and powerful chemical engineering simulation programs used both industrially and academically.

Using Aspen Plus in Thermodynamics Instruction: A Step by Step Guide introduces the reader to the use of Aspen Plus in courses in thermodynamics. It provides the reader with a self-study, step-by-step guide to doing thermodynamic calculations in Aspen Plus (Version 8.x). This is done by providing actual screen shots of the Aspen Plus interface to solve example problems of specific types, including vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid, vapor-liquid-liquid and chemical reaction equilibria, and simple applications to liquefaction, distillation and liquid-liquid extraction. Using Aspen Plus in Thermodynamics Instruction features:

Easily-accessible modern computational techniques opening up new vistas in teaching thermodynamics

A range of applications of Aspen Plus in the prediction and calculation of thermodynamic properties and phase behavior using the state-of-the art methods

Calculations and application examples in a step-by-step manner designed for out-of-classroom self study

This book serves as a prelude to instruction in the more complex process simulation and provides a coherent approach to introducing the Aspen Plus simulator in undergraduate thermodynamics courses. Because it has been designed for self-study use, it is meant to be assigned to students to use out of class, and not as an in-class textbook. It does not attempt to teach the basics of thermodynamics; it stresses the application of thermodynamics to realistic problems.
