P. T. Vasudevan, professor of chemical engineering at the University of New Hampshire, created this powerful computer code using techniques and data contained in the book. Vasudevan's program is described in the Journal of Chemical Engineering Education, Summer 1999 issue.
Software is free of charge for institutions that adopt the text for a period of one year.
The program has been tested for several semesters at the University of New Hampshire. Recently, it has been converted to run as a web-based program. Recent books have drawn heavily on economic data contained in Ulrich's textbook. One includes a computer code containing about one third of the capital cost figures. Though displaying a younger copyright, such cost information, like that in the Ulrich text, is vintage 1983.
