Today’s Process Engineering
Today, most of major unit operations are built into a process
simulator and used extensively within the industry. For example:
-Simulators: AspenPlus, Fluent, Comsol, ChemSep, others.

Phase Equilibrium (Alternate Form VLE)
Historically, when estimates were done by hand:
y i  K i xi
K i  K i T , P , all x i 
Sometimes the K values are nearly composition independent
“hand” techniques of design/solution have used DePriester Charts
