DWSIM

DWSIM is an open-source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator. It features a Graphical User Interface (GUI), advanced thermodynamics calculations, reactions support and petroleum characterization / hypothetical component generation tools. DWSIM can simulate steady-state, vapor–liquid, vapor–liquid-liquid, solid–liquid and aqueous electrolyte equilibrium processes and has built-in thermodynamic models and unit operations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWSIM ). It is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

Short Course on "Process Simulation Using DWSIM"

The objective of the short term course is to create awareness of the open source process simulator “DWSIM” among prospective graduates and practicing process engineers. The course will cover basic aspects of create flow sheet in DWSIM and simulation of simple units such as Mixer, Heat Exchanger, Equilibrium reactor, CSTR, Distillation column. The course will make use of spoken tutorial on DWSIM, created and made available by IITB, under the FOSSEE project, NMEICT-MHRD initiative. With the basic exposure obtained during the course, the participants will be able to simulate a chemical process flow sheet using DWSIM
