What is ASCEND
| style="border:0.75pt solid #000001;padding:0.0104in;"| * '''ASCEND''' is an open-source software program, for solving mathematical models.
* '''ASCEND''' stands for '''Advanced System for Computations in Engineering Design'''.
* It was first developed in 1978 at '''Carnegie Mellon University.'''
* '''ASCEND''' can be used for solving systems of '''non-linear equations, linear '''and '''nonlinear optimization''' problems, and '''dynamic systems'''

|-
| style="border:0.75pt solid #000001;padding:0.0104in;"| Slide number 6

Sample Problems
| style="border:0.75pt solid #000001;padding:0.0104in;"| Here are two examples of a '''process simulation problem''' that can be modeled in '''ASCEND''':

* Model a flash drum for separating a given mixture.

* Model a process flow-sheet comprising of a '''Mixer, Reactor''' and a '''Separation''' unit

|-
| style="border:0.75pt solid #000001;padding:0.0104in;"| Open the ASCEND interface
| style="border:0.75pt solid #000001;padding:0.0104in;"| Now, let's have a look at the '''ASCEND''' interface.

|-
| style="border:0.75pt solid #000001;padding:0.0104in;"| Load files test.a4c and press solve
| style="border:0.75pt solid #000001;padding:0.0104in;"| I will load a code file in '''ASCEND''' and solve it.

We will learn more about using this interface in the coming tutorials.

|-

Learning Objectives
| style="border:0.75pt solid #000001;padding:0.0104in;"| At the end of this series, you will learn how to:

* install '''ASCEND''' on your system
* write basic '''models''' in '''ASCEND'''
* solve equation of states in '''ASCEND'''
* Model a mixer
* Model a Reactor
* Connect different components of a flowsheet
* Run the flowsheet
* Use FOR loop in ASCEND
* Use Arrays in MODEL
* Plot Graphs using ASCEND
