Abstract
Chemical process simulation aims to represent a process of chemical or physical transformation through a mathematic model that involves the calculation of mass and energy balances coupled with phase equilibrium and with transport and chemical kinetics equations. All this is made looking for the establishment (prediction) of the behavior of a process of known structure, in which some preliminary data of the equipment that compose the process are known.
