Symbolic preprocessing for simulation of PDE models of chemical processes

Modeling and simulation of supercritical extraction columns using computer algebra

“…For example, Thissel and Mills [7] used the CA package Macsyma ® for simulating a simple extraction column and Alfradique et al [6] used Mathematica ® in the development of a Fortran code for the simulation of isothermal extraction columns. For other applications in chemical engineering, CA programs such as Maple ® and Mathematica ® are being increasingly used [6,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], because they provide symbolic, numerical and graphical capabilities in a single computation environment. For example, Castier [11] the Thermath package using the Mathematica ® programming language.…”
