Tutorial 1: Overview of ASCEND

Visual Cue	Narration
Slide number 1 Title slide	Welcome to the Overview of ASCEND tutorial series.
Show Slide 2	In this tutorial, we will introduce you to ASCEND problems that can be solved using ASCEND ASCEND interface through a sample model topics covered in this series
Slide number 3 System Requirement	System Requirements Here I am using Ubuntu Linux OS version 12.04 and ASCEND version 0.9.8
Slide number 4 Prerequisites	To follow this tutorial series, user doesn't require any prior knowledge of ASCEND. To know more about ASCEND, please visit ascend4.org
Slide number 5 What is ASCEND	What is ASCEND? ASCEND is an open-source software program, for solving mathematical models. ASCEND stands for Advanced System for Computations in Engineering Design.
Slide number Applications of ASCEND	Applications of ASCEND ASCEND can be used for various purposes like solving systems of non-linear equations, linear and nonlinear optimization problems, and dynamic systems
Slide number 6 Sample Problems	Various process simulation problems can be modeled using ASCEND. Some of such examples are- Modelling a flash drum for separating a given mixture. Modelling a process flow-sheet comprising of a Mixer, Reactor and Separation unit.
Open the ASCEND interface	Let me now introduce you to the ASCEND interface.
	Let me load a file. We will learn more about using this interface in the further tutorials.
Slide Applications of ASCEND	Let us now have a look at the topics to be covered in this tutorial series.
Slide Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn how to install ASCEND on Linux and Windows. how to open a model in ASCEND and solve it.
Slide Learning Objectives	how to build a basic model how to add methods to this basic model. and how to write dimensionally consistent equation in ASCEND.
Slide Learning Objectives	We will also learn how to create a re-usable model reuse the model for different components import data from Thermodynamics library and solve the model.
Slide Learning Objectives	Further to this, we will learn how to Model a Mixer Model a Reactor Connect different components of a flow-sheet and run the flow-sheet
Slide Learning Objectives	Lastly, we will learn how to use FOR loop in ASCEND how to use Arrays in our models how to plot graphs using ASCEND
Slide number 6 Summary	This tutorial was an overview of what you will learn in the ASCEND series.
