Aspen Plus

The document describes a course on process modeling and simulation. It introduces various modeling techniques including mathematical modeling. It discusses developing physical and mathematical models and simulating models using software like Aspen Plus. It provides an example of simulating the dilution of a 20% calcium hydroxide slurry to produce a 5% slurry. The simulation is performed both manually and using Aspen Plus to calculate the quantities of the concentrated and water streams required.
