This course comprises 19 audio-video spoken tutorials, using which you can self-learn DWSIM simulation software with ease. 

STEP 1-
First of all install DWSIM following the steps given in this sheet.
  1. This sheet gives the steps to install the DWSIM on Linux and Windows OS.
  2. Open the sheet, read the instructions for your OS and install DWSIM on your machine.
  3. Cross-verify (as mentioned in the sheet) to confirm successful installation.

STEP 2-

Next, read this sheet. https://spoken-tutorial.org/DWSIM-Instruction-Sheet-English.pdf/
  1. This sheet explains how to learn from spoken tutorials.
  2. This sheet also mentions some important information about the text editors while coding, how to use the command prompt (in Windows OS), how to use the Code Files, how to do the Assignments, etc.
  3. Read this sheet carefully and make a note of all the information, before you begin.
STEP 3-
Follow the side-by-side learning methodology while learning from spoken tutorials - watch the video, listen to the instructions, pause the video, try out the command on your system.  You should get the exact same results as shown in the video.  If successful, proceed with the video.  Else, rewind and watch the video again and replicate the commands shown.

Complete all the videos in the given sequence one by one.
The Assignment for each tutorial is for your self-assessment only.  Do not upload it anywhere for evaluation.

Introduction to DWSIM

DWSIM is an open-source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator. It is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

It allows us to conduct experiments and analyze data using advanced models and operations.The simulator allows chemical engineering students and chemical engineers to run the simulations and get a better understanding on a phenomenon.

It has built-in thermodynamic models and unit operations as well as a large range of tools for managing reactions or creating components.Some popular property packages are also available, such as Peng-Robinson, NRTL, UNIQUAC, Raoult's law, Lee-Kesler etc.

DWSIM enables us to manage the material streams and design a schematic representation of the entire mechanism with the help of object palette. It features customizable parameters for each item and PH calculation for all the compounds. It also allow us to view the properties of the pure component, calculate the critical point, perform hydrate calculations, as well as conduct the sensitivity analysis and multi-variate optimizations.

DWSIM is capable of generating distillation curves petroleum characterizations and helps us to create new compounds that can be used in experiments, along with the existing ones. Also, it can be used for performing data regression studies for two compounds using various thermodynamics models and methods, generating conclusive graphs.

The Spoken Tutorial effort for DWSIM was contributed by Prof Kannan Moudgalya from the Spoken Tutorial Project and is supported by Rahul Jain, Kaushik Datta and Pravin Dalve from IIT Bombay.

Learners : UG/PG Chemical Engineering students to run the simulations and get a better understanding on a phenomenon.
