CAPE-OPEN

I would like to know how to call COCO thermo in Scilab. I have developed a Scilab program for dynamic simulation of batch distillation. I would now like to use the thermodynamics package of COCO in the program to calculate the Vapor Liquid Equilibrium concentration. Is anyone working in this area??

If you want to do it from within the context of a unit operation (for which the equations are written in Scilab), you can use

If you just want to access CAPE-OPEN based thermodynamics from within Scilab (e.g. TEA, or any other CAPE-OPEN compliant thermo), you can use

Arvind,

have you been successful in using COCO Thermo (TEA) within Scilab for modelling a batch distillation unit? Such a unit operation is consuming quite a lot of thermo functions, maybe also derivatives of thermo functions. There was a presentation at the CAPE-OPEN 2014 Annual Meeting by a software vendor (ProSim SA) discussing the use of CAPE-OPEN thermodynamics in their batch distillation software. You may want to take a look.
