ChemProp - The Chemical Prediction Module

Download Chemprop.zip (1 MB)- Chemical property prediction DATA file. Chemprop is a database containing pure component chemical property prediction spreadsheets. Most of the spreadsheets are designed take input data from the ChemBase module.

Features

Chemprop can predict a wide range of gas and liquid properties - density, heat capacity, viscosity, thermal conductivity, latent heat, surface tension and more. The techniques have been based mostly on information from Yaws, Perry and Reid. Some of the methods are listed below:-

	Dimensionless numbers
	Critical constants
	Gas, liquid and solid densities (pure or multi-component) via equations of state such as Ideal fluids, Virial, Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK), Peng-Robinson, Lee Kesler and others
	Fluid vapour pressure (pure or multi-component)
	Boiling point, dew and bubble point temperatures
	Heat of vaporisation
	Heat of fusion
	Gas, liquid or solid heat capacity (pure or multi-component)
	Gas or liquid enthalpy and entropy (pure or multi-component)
	Heat of formation
	Gas or liquid viscosity (pure or multi-component)
	Gas, liquid or solid thermal conductivity (pure or multi-component)
	Surface tension
	Gas or liquid diffusion
	Combustion properties
	Air properties - psychrometric properties (wet bulb, dry bulb & relative humidity relations)
	Idea fluids flash
	Natural gas properties
	Petroleum fractions properties

Usage

When opened, Chemprop should look something like this:-
Chemprop example

Now suppose we want the heat of vaporisation of , just type in "vapori" and press enter. You should get:-
Chemprop example

Now tap on the Peng-Robinson spreadsheet icon and press Ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard. You should see:-
Chemprop example

Now switch to your project file and press Ctrl-V to embed the object thus:-
Chemprop example

Now open Chembase and press Ctrl-Shift-K to highlight "Name:", "MolWt:", "TfTb:" and "Crit Props:" fields only as below:-

Chemprop example

Now press "OK". The next step is is to find n-Butane by typing in "n-but" and press "enter". Press Ctrl-A to select all the data, then Ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard. You should see:-
Chemprop example

Now switch to your project file and edit embedded spreadsheet. Enter the temperature and then move to the cell called "name" and press Ctrl-V to paste the chembase data into this cell and the ones below, thus:-
Chemprop example

The spreadsheet will automatically recalculate in this case, and if we move to the bottom of the spreadsheet, we should see the heat of vaporization of 21019 kJ/kmol, thus:-
