Questions 1.What is process simulation? 2.What is Aspen HYSYS ? 3.What is Matlab? 4.What is process automation? 5.What is petroleum? 6.What is driving force for heat transfer? 7.What is driving force for heat transfer? Answers: 1.A simulation is an approximate imitation of the operation of a process or system; that represents its operation over time. 2.Aspen HYSYS is a chemical process simulator used to mathematically model chemical processes, from unit operations to full chemical plants and refineries 3.MATLAB is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and proprietary programming language developed by MathWorks. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms. 4.Automation, or Labor-saving technology is the technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal human assistance. 5.a liquid mixture of hydrocarbons which is present in suitable rock strata and can be extracted and refined to produce fuels including petrol, paraffin 6.Temp difference 7. concentration difference
