Abstract

The chapter considers software designed for modeling and optimization of the process of multicomponent fractionation based on the entropy-informational approach. The process is described mathematically based on the informational principle of maximum entropy, and the informational criterion of a relative estimate of system organization bears the role of the target function in the optimization. The application allows a user to calculate the most probable values of the main parameters of the process and can be used for decision support both at designing new fractionation devices and at the optimization of existing devices.
