Apart from the usual extensive testing and optimization and bug-fixing the key improvements are: Calculation kernel: Unit operation modeling: support for Proton-SOFC fuel cells; Physical properties: major refactoring of phase- and stream-related classes, handling of root extrapolation (pseudoproperties) in cubic equations of state, PC-SAFT equation of state, prototype GERG-2004 and IAPWS-95 equations of state; https://simevo.com/news/2008/whats-new-in-libpf-0-8/ Mon, 22 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0000 https://simevo.com/news/2008/whats-new-in-libpf-0-8/ LIBPF 0.8 was released on 2008/09/22, 7 months and about 300 changes after release 0.7 (2008/02/20). Apart from the usual bug-fixing the key improvements are: User interface: Portability: LIBPF UI is now based on Qt Cross-Platform Application Framework 4, Open Source Edition (previously, the Microsoft .NET framework); consequently it now runs under Windows 2000 - Vista, Apple OSX 10.2 - 10.5 and Linux (tested: Debian Etch) - see announcement ; https://simevo.com/news/2008/whats-new-in-libpf-0-7/ Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000 https://simevo.com/news/2008/whats-new-in-libpf-0-7/ LIBPF 0.7 was released on 2008/02/20, 15 months and about 400 changes after release 0.6 (2006/11/28). The key improvements are: Solid-vapour-liquid streams with inert solid phase: LIBPF now supports performing mass balances of processes comprising solid streams, with separate accounting of the solid phase so that it does not interfere with the equilibria of the fluid phases; Native implementation for the Non-Random Two Liquids (NRTL) activity coefficient model: users can compute vapor-liquid equilibria of highly non-ideal, polar mixtures without the need for an external thermo engine; https://simevo.com/search/data.js Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://simevo.com/search/data.js
