AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a student's struggle with a design process assignment that involves creating a mass balance and using Aspen Plus 2004 for simulations. The student seeks resources, articles, and guidance on the design process, particularly in selecting appropriate devices for the desired processes. The mention of an uploaded document with an introduction and formulas indicates a foundational understanding, but the need for further assistance is emphasized, as the entire class is facing similar challenges. There is a critique of the outdated nature of the exercise, suggesting that the teaching materials may not align with current industry standards.

Hello all. Another year has begun and yet again I'm stumped with all this stuff.

If anyone can provide me with sources, articles, or any type of information to help me with this design process.

I uploaded a word document with a pretty nice intro I wrote with all the formulas and a description of the process. The big thing the teacher wants us to do now is a mass balance. We also use Aspen Plus 2004 to run our simulations. A guide would be nice as knowing which devices to use for each desired process is eluding me currently...

Thanks for any assistance that can be provided. It won't just be for me, I'll pass it on to the entire class. We're all struggling...

Hate to tell you just how old that exercise is.
Your teachers really should get something more up to date.
