Computer as engineering tools Computer hardware and software are tools of the trade for engineers. It provides fast calculation, large storage, and logical decisions. The engineers emphasis can therefore shift from problem solving to planning , conceiving , interpreting, and implementing with the information made available.

Computer as engineering tools Design is one of the engineering function that has been impacted by computers.

Chemical engineering/Technology Chemical engineering stresses the processes for manufacturing chemicals and chemical based product. In this effort, the emphasis of the chemical engineer tends to be on the process rather than on the product.

Computer education for chemical engineers The computer aids for chemical engineering (CACHE) corporation makes available several programs intended mainly for education use, but provides them at modest cost to anyone.

Computer and chemical engineering Computers use with chemical engineers for designing. An engineer may write a programming language code to solve particular design problem. For example specific code written to solve a chemical reactor design problem.

Computer and chemical engineering However, the program writing and debugging are usually quite time consuming. Therefore, recommended available ready made software be used, as far as possible. Many ready to use programs useful for chemical engineers are available.

Computers and process design In the late it was understood by industry that the use of digital computers could have an enormous impact on solving design. Several examples of alternative process designs are given as numbers:

Computers and process design Design of an ammonia synthesis plant. Design of an ethanol dehydrogenation plant Alternative fermentation processes for ethanol production Pump selection

Computers and process design 5) Plastic selection 6)Retrofit of a heat exchanger Network and design of a multi product batch plant. 7)Other aspect of CAD.

Other programs CACHE has PC programs available for the following operations: Slurry flow pipes, supercritical fluid extraction, gas absorption with chemical reaction, design of flash vessels and distillation towers, heterogeneous reaction kinetics, and dynamics and stability.

Other programs CACHE has the programs THEN and TARGET 2 that are useful in the design of heat exchange networks. And many other programs which is given as: 1) property data programs 2)Process synthesis 3)Flowsheeting software

Other programs 4)Process simulation 5)Laboratory information system 6)Operations of process plants. 7)optimization.
