Calculation Management Software for Chemical Engineers

Chemical engineers operate at the nexus of physics, chemistry, and math, and constantly encounter challenging technical problems; their work involves heat and mass balances, vessel design, pump and pipe sizing, reaction engineering, and more. To solve these problems faster, and with less risk, the calculations involved need to be managed as a structured asset that can be validated and reused.

This whitepaper examines how chemical engineers use Maple™ for calculation management, transforming what would otherwise be isolated analyses into reusable, shareable and extensible assets.
