Simprosys Tutorial
" Simprosys is a helpful
instructional tool for courses in unit operations, mass transfer, design projects, etc. Consulting
engineers, dryer designers,
and vendors, as well as process/
production engineers will find it to be
of immense value in simplifying
their engineering calculations. With
appropriate parametric studies
and what-if calculations, one can use
this software for optimization
of operating conditions of dryers. Overall,
it is a very useful and
timely software package of special interest to
both academic and
industrial readers of this journal."

Simprosys is a
Window based software package specifically designed for the heat and mass balance
calculations of
drying
process and combined evaporation and drying process. It is
also a very efficient tool for the design, evaluation and troubleshooting of
drying systems as well as dryers and burners.
Simprosys
can
deal with
not
only Water-Air system, but also many other typical Solvent-Gas
systems for industrial drying.
Simprosys
can model and simulate combustion drying.
Using the unit operations
in
Simprosys, you can construct
any drying and evaporation related process and
explore different arrangements of unit operations and experiment with different
operating conditions.
Simprosys can also model and simulate
recycled exhaust gas stream and
product material stream in a drying process.
As a design engineer, you can use
Simprosys to design
drying and evaporation related plants.
Based
on design requirements you can quickly layout
the flowsheet and compute the heat and mass
balance
of the whole plant and obtain
the necessary process parameters
such as the air flow rate to the dryer, the capacity and power requirements for
the blower, the heat duty of the heater, etc. As part of the heat and mass
balance calculation results the Thermal
Efficiency and Specific Heat
Consumption of the dryer(s) are automatically obtained. For combustion
drying, you can
obtain the needed process parameters such as the required drying fuel
Flow Rate and corresponding air Flow
Rate of the burner to the dryer, the
Capacity and Power requirements
for the blower.
You can tweak the input and output
values of different variables to optimize the dryer(s) and drying system. After
the balance calculation is finalized, you
then can choose equipment according to the simulation results.
As
a process engineer, you
can simulate existing plant by easily laying out the plant on a flowsheet and
input the operating conditions
to
obtain the heat and mass balance calculation results. You can see how efficient
current operation is according to the calculated
Thermal Efficiency
and
Specific Heat Consumption
of the
dryer(s). You
can try different operating conditions
to optimize
the
operation.
You can also use Simprosys as an effective troubleshooting tool to find which
unit is not working as designed.
As a university professor, you will find
Simprosys an efficient teaching tool for undergraduate and
postgraduate students working on design and research projects in chemical engineering
unit operations, food
process engineering, agricultural engineering, etc.
With
Simprosys students can do what-if analysis
which otherwise would
take unrealistically long time to
accomplish. You can also use it as a teaching
tool to
show students the effects of the input parameters on the
output parameters for
a typical plant.
Practicing engineers
and scientists can use Simprosys as a self-learning tool.
Simprosys is extremely user friendly with an
intuitive user interface with maximum protection to prevent
users from making simple
mistakes. It also has an effective tutorial to teach users step by step how to use
the
software to simulate typical drying and evaporation related systems. Users
of this software will require minimal
self-training and effort to use it effectively.
Typical calculations of a process that may take a skilled
engineer
several weeks
to carry out, can now be accomplished in several hours with
Simprosys.
