This tutorial provides basic input skills for operating CHEMCAD. CHEMCAD is a very easy program to learn, and the best way to master it is by using it. Here we provide a step-by-step description of how to solve the condensate stabilizer problem given below. The input procedure is simple and straightforward. It is designed to be intuitive for a chemical engineer familiar with the Windows environment. However, for the sake of clarity and for those new to Windows, a review of some of the basic rules for using CHEMCAD is given. BASIC Steps The following ten basic steps are used to run a flowsheet simulation in CHEMCAD. Starting a new job Selecting engineering units Creating a flowsheet Selecting components Selecting thermodynamics options Defining the feed streams Input equipment parameters Running the simulation Reviewing the results Generating hardcopy output The steps do not have to be performed in this order nor do all of them have to be done for each flowsheet. All should be considered for each problem. There are a series of Help facilities available throughout the program. The bottom line of the screen provides a one-sentence description of the current highlighted item. The Help command provides access to the On-line Manual, which contains comprehensive technical information. The [F1] key provides context sensitive help (place the c
