Summary

A generalized computer program, PACER-65, has been developed and utilized for flowsheet calculations and process-data reduction. PACER-65 is an executive program in which material- and energy-balance equations, conversion factors, etc., for each processing step are described by separate subroutines. The program plans the sequence of the calculations and calls the subroutines in the order required to determine all desired properties of the process streams. The effects of changes in the process flowsheet or variation of processing conditions are readily evaluated. The PACER-65 method has also been adapted for process-data reduction. In this case, the subroutine incorporate calibration data for flow-metering instruments etc., as well as equations required to perform the various calculations.
