ProcessSimulator.jl - A Differentiable Chemical Process Simulator

Explore a differentiable chemical process simulator in this 11-minute conference talk from JuliaCon 2024. Dive into ProcessSimulator.jl, a Julia package that leverages ModelingToolkit.jl to provide dynamic and steady-state process simulation capabilities. Learn about its unique features, including robust process flowsheeting using symbolic transformations and automatic differentiation, integration with Clapeyron.jl for thermodynamic properties, system-level superstructure optimization, and interfaces with SciML and DifferentialEquations.jl for dynamic simulations. Discover how this open-source tool addresses limitations of commercial simulators by offering the flexibility of a full-fledged programming language and supporting next-generation workflows in chemical process engineering.
