It took me a year or so but I managed to develop a tool that closely resembles the carl branan book Using python, if you're familiar with the hardcopy of the book you may remember its pretty small it could fit your pocket yet it is very helpful and rich it almost cover most of the equipment sizing aspects.
I post regularly on linkedin my progress updates yet I dont get enough feedback that i could really work with. Are there some important calculations that i am missing? Is the app hard to navigate or use? I actaully don't know the slightest!

Could you help me cheresources community? You may also find the tool helpful so..might as well use it!

The problem with using such software is that there is no validation available. Most have some stuff already, and maybe they have validated it. You should always include a disclaimer with the software.

I totally agree I initially developed it for only quick estimations at site. I will add a disclaimer for sure. Thanks!

Well done. Add the ability to select units of measurement and expand the component database for property calculations. Dew T, Bubble T, PT flash calculations on Peng-Robinson EOS are desirable.

I am working on the units of measurement right now (still trying to figure a simple way to modify all the code for it), expanding the component database should be easier currently there are approx. 53 components (you can also use oil characterization for oil hypos) and I am constantly adding any component that i could deem popular! the current calculations uses thermo library and utilities its PR flash calculations expect if 100% water was in question then i revert to IAPWS95.

 

Dew T and bubble T are an interesting output they actually didn't cross my mind!

 

thanks for your kind feedback!
