Process simulator is performed mainly for two different purposes - design of a new process and assessment of an existing process. For the design purpose, it is crucial to rigorously simulate the unit processes since few is known for them. But for the assessment purpose, a lot of operating condition and data are given, validation of these data becomes an important issue. Since most of commercial process simulators cover the two cases simultaneously, they are neither cost-effective nor suitable to deal with given data if the user is only interested in assessing material and / or energy balance of existing processes. Present research aims at developing a simple process simulator which is capable to calculate the steady-state mass balance as well as to reconcile the noisy operating data. |
