Illustrates how to efficiently organize the computation of material and energy balances in the context of a Mathcad document. Throughout this Electronic Book the focus is on those issues which arise in the analysis of steady-state process flowsheets. Only material that is directly relevant to this issue is discussed. The logic of the DF analysis enables students to plan their work and avoid investing hours of computation on a strategy doomed to failure. This new medium of instruction is effective because it combines a powerful computational tool with the subject being presented.
Students can focus on formulating valid sets of equations.
