2. Simple Membrane Unit in Mathematica Linked to CHEMCAD

CHEMCAD is a suite of software for the simulation of chemical processes and the design of equipment. Mathematica is an entirely different type of software, providing powerful computer algebra tools and mathematical functions for the theoretical or numerical solution of advanced mathematical problems. This data set provides instructions with an example for connecting CHEMCAD to Mathematica through Excel. The example is a simple well-mixed membrane calculation with a fully specified feed stream split by the membrane into retentate and permeate streams. Files and instructions for connecting the software using Mathematica Link for Excel are included. The software prerequisites are working, licensed copies of Mathematica, CHEMCAD, and Mathematica Link for Excel. The results are interesting because a wide range of advanced design and simulation equations can be posed in Mathematica and run live in CHEMCAD.
