SimSci-Esscor Releases Enhanced Steady-State Simulator For Safety Systems and Pressure Relief Networks.LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- The SimSci-Esscor unit of Invensys Process Systems today announced the release of version 5.0 of its VISUAL FLOW simulation program. Version 5.0 features enhanced SIM4ME thermodynamics thermodynamics, branch of science concerned with the nature of heat and its conversion to mechanical, electric, and chemical energy. Historically, it grew out of efforts to construct more efficient heat engines—devices for extracting useful work from expanding , improved reporting capabilities, and more efficient data entry workflows. Used in the design and modeling of safety systems and pressure relief networks, the VISUAL FLOW simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. provides a complete solution for a variety of industries including oil and gas production, gas processing, refining refining, any of various processes for separating impurities from crude or semifinished materials. It includes the finer processes of metallurgy, the fractional distillation of petroleum into its commercial products, and the purifying of cane, beet, and maple sugar , petrochemicals, chemicals, and engineering and construction. VISUAL FLOW software provides process and safety engineers with rigorous steady-state simulation for designing, documenting, and modeling plant fluid-flow systems. The seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. of SIM4ME thermodynamics provides users with access to extensive component databanks, more than 35 thermodynamic ther·mo·dy·nam·ic adj. 1. Characteristic of or resulting from the conversion of heat into other forms of energy. 2. Of or relating to thermodynamics. modeling methods including equations of state and generalized gen·er·al·ized adj. 1. Involving an entire organ, as when an epileptic seizure involves all parts of the brain. 2. Not specifically adapted to a particular environment or function; not specialized. 3. correlations, thus improving the range and accuracy of flow models for the process industries. "Plants increasingly require sophisticated solutions in the form of simple-to-use environments that will deliver fast, reliable, and accurate answers to their toughest questions, from the rating of complex relief systems to highly looped cooling water systems," said Jim Browne James "Jim" Browne, also known as "Stretch" (born January 1, 1930 in Midlothian, Illinois) is a retired American basketball player. He played for the Chicago Stags (1948-49) and Denver Nuggets (1949-50) in the BAA and NBA for 35 games. , SimSci-Esscor's fluid flow product manager. "The enhancements we've added to this version of VISUAL FLOW software make it easy for customers to integrate the information and thermodynamic calculations they need to ensure safer design and operation in their plants." VISUAL FLOW simulation software was developed to model the toughest single and multiphase Mul´ti`phase a. 1. (Elec.) Having many phases; Adj. 1. multiphase - of an electrical system that uses or generates two or more alternating voltages of the same frequency but differing in phase angle fluid-flow systems by using point-by-point thermodynamics and pressure drop calculations. It is ideal for applications including the design and rating of flare networks, line sizing, relief valve sizing or rating, and vessel de-pressuring. This release is part of SimSci-Esscor's continuing commitment to enhancing simulation technology and application within the SIM4ME common modeling environment. SimSci-Esscor simulation solutions are developed to increase engineering productivity and boost overall asset/plant profitability by enabling users to improve the accuracy of process engineering design and operational analysis of decision support.
