HSC 7 is ready!

[Satu]

HSC Chemistry 7.0 is not only a process flowsheet simulation software program but it also contains 22 other useful calculation modules and 12 databases with an extensive number of thermochemical, heat transfer and mineralogical data on the same CD. HSC 7 has several new features, for example:

1. Flowsheet Module
Four different modes (Particles, Reaction, Distribution and Experimental), new Table object, new Page and Layer properties, more robust controls, new Excel Wizards, Mass Balancing and Data Reconciliation routine

2. New Unit Icon Library with 515 Icons
The unit process icon database was made in cooperation with industrial designers and process engineers. These may be used to visualize process flowsheets.

3. New Add-In Functions
StreamSM, StreamGM, StreamEQA, StreamXArray, RecoveryXArray, ProgenyStream, ComminutionProductPSD, CubicSpline, ERF.

4. Updated Balance Module
Automatic entropy (T * S) and Gibbs energy (G) balance calculations were added.

5. Updated Equilibrium Module
A more robust Gibbs Energy Minimization routine.

6. Updated MW Module with new H, S and Cp Estimates
Even the original H, S and Cp data sources may contain errors and typos, so the new estimation routine may be used to identify these errors.

7. New Aqueous Solution Property Estimator
This module estimates non-ideal electrolyte solution properties like activity coefficients and enthalpies. These may be used in Equilibrium module or in process models.

8. Updated H, S and Cp Database
More than 4000 new species were added and data of 4700 species were updated. The total number of species is now more than 25000.

9. Updated Mineralogical Database
The number of minerals has been increased from 3581 to 13346 minerals.

10. Updated Help Module
The new Help module is more robust and has access to unit model help files.

11. Windows Vista, Vista 64 and Windows 7 Support

12. Other improvements
Several new features were added and a large number of small bugs were fixed.
