| 00:01 | Welcome to this overview spoken tutorial on DWSIM, an open source chemical process simulator. |
| 00:07 | My name is Kannan Moudgalya. |
| 00:11 | In this tutorial, we will:* learn to install DWSIM |
| 00:15 | Get introduced to DWSIM |
| 00:18 | Get a glimpse of DWSIM spoken tutorials that are already available |
| 00:23 | Learn about all possible help available for DWSIM. |
| 00:28 | Almost any operating system will work, but I am recording this tutorial in Windows 7. |
| 00:34 | What is simulation? |
| 00:36 | Study of a physical system with a mathematical model and a computer solution to this model. |
| 00:43 | Simulation helps predict the behavior of the physical system. |
| 00:47 | It is inexpensive, safe and fast. |
| 00:51 | It eliminates the need to do these studies on the real system. |
| 00:56 | Indian space missions are economical and done in a relatively short time. |
| 01:02 | One important reason is simulation. |
| 01:05 | Reliance Jamnagar was the world’s largest single stream refinery when started. |
| 01:11 | Put up in a short time, once again, thanks to simulation. |
| 01:16 | There are many commercial process simulators. |
| 01:19 | A few general purpose simulators are listed here. |
| 01:23 | What is DWSIM? It is a state of the art process simulator, Open source software, absolutely free, developed by Daniel Thermodynamic support by Gregor, used all over the world. |
| 01:39 | I will now explain how to install DWSIM in Windows 7. |
| 01:45 | Go to the link shown here. |
| 01:50 | I am already at this link. Click the Download button. |
| 01:55 | I have already done this. |

| 03:09 | Let me press F1. |
| 03:12 | I get this Help page. |
| 03:14 | It has a lot of information. |
| 03:18 | Let me press Simulation Objects. |
| 03:22 | Let me press Unit Operations. |
| 03:25 | Let me double click on Separator. |
| 03:29 | It has given me this page. |
| 03:31 | It has a lot of information on separator. |
| 03:36 | Let me minimize this window. |
| 03:39 | Let me go to the slide. |
| 03:42 | Let me point out some advantages of DWSIM. |
| 03:46 | It is completely free. |
| 03:48 | It has excellent thermodynamics and solvers. |
| 03:52 | The entire source code is available to everyone. |
| 03:56 | Manuals of DWSIM explain every calculation. |
| 04:00 | Commercial simulators keep these confidential. |
| 04:04 | The user can introduce models, compounds and thermodynamics. |
| 04:09 | One can also use DWSIM’s thermodynamic library with other programs. |
| 04:15 | We have excellent spoken tutorials on DWSIM. |
| 04:19 | We will begin with the creation of material streams in DWSIM. |
| 04:24 | I have already downloaded all the spoken tutorials. |
| 04:29 | I will play them one by one. |
| 04:32 | Let me play this.Add video audio clip of Creating a material Stream in DWSIM--- |
| 04:40 | The next tutorial is an introduction to Flowsheeting. |
| 04:45 | This constructs a simple flowsheet with a flash and a mixer. |
| 04:50 | Let us listen to it. |
| 04:53 | Add video audio clip of Introduction to Flowsheeting in DWSIM. |
| 04:59 | The next tutorial explains how to simulate a distillation column through shortcut. |
| 05:07 | Let us listen to it. |
| 05:10 | Add video audio clip of simulating a shortcut distillation column in DWSIM.--- |
| 05:17 | The next tutorial explains how to carry out rigorous distillation calculations. |
| 05:23 | The starting point for this is shortcut distillation. |
| 05:27 | Let us listen to it. |
| 05:30 | Add video audio clip of simulating a rigorous distillation column in DWSIM. |
| 05:36 | The final tutorial I plan to show explains how to do sensitivity analysis. |
| 05:42 | Helps do a sensitivity study of some variables on other variables. |
| 05:49 | The adjust operation does the same thing automatically. |
| 05:54 | Add video audio clip of Sensitivity Analysis, Adjust. |
| 06:04 | Here is a summary of the tutorials we just saw. |
| 06:10 | Using DWSIM, one can quickly find solutions to flowsheeting problems. |
| 06:15 | Carry out "what if" studies. |
| 06:18 | Identify bottlenecks and ways to increase the throughput. |
| 06:23 | Students will find DWSIM extremely useful. |
| 06:27 | It will help them understand the concepts well. |
| 06:29 | Their expertise will help improve profits in industry. |
| 06:34 | They will get a lot more core engineering jobs. |
| 06:38 | It is also useful to those students who want to start a consulting company. |
| 06:43 | You may think that because it is an open source software, no help is available. |
| 06:49 | Is this true? |
| 06:51 | It is not at all true. |
| 06:53 | A lot of help is available to the users of DWSIM. |
| 06:57 | I will explain them one by one. |
| 07:00 | We have spoken tutorial forum. |
| 07:03 | Go to this link. I have already opened it. |

| 08:19 | Choose second as 30-40. |
| 08:23 | Write your question here and submit it, using this green button. |
| 08:29 | Let me go to the next slide. |
| 08:31 | What if you have a general question, |
| 08:34 | not from a spoken tutorial. |
| 08:36 | So, it does not have minute and second. |
| 08:39 | For example, it may be for a new problem you tried to solve using DWSIM. |
| 08:46 | For this, we have another forum, led by the FOSSEE group. |
| 08:52 | Let us go there. |
| 08:55 | Choose a category from the horizontally scrolling menu. |
| 08:59 | You may view previous questions. |
