Abstract

Publisher Summary Computer-aided process engineering (CAPE) practice has shown that thermodynamics software tools play a critical role in the process engineering lifecycle, including process modeling, simulation, optimization, and process design. To provide CAPE applications unified and improved thermodynamics services, a component-based open thermodynamics server (OpenThermo) has been developed. OpenThermo is able to carry out open and closed-form physical property calculations and to supply and process symbolic thermodynamic model equations. These services are provided based on the integration of individual thermodynamics resources, such as physical property databases and physical property packages. Such functionality is achieved with a layered software architecture following a resource/service-based classification of the software components that comprise the thermodynamics sever. So far, the major functionality of the service components has been implemented, and several resource components have been connected to OpenThermo.
