Process components databank
Use this add-on:
Screenshots and a short video come with the listing (AL.3).
Overview
Process components databank is planned as a data pack of chemical components with their properties, each value cited to a public source, for the process engine used in CadCraft, BimCraft and PartCraft. It is planned under row IND.7 (components as a Library item kind) and is not available as a listing. A small starter table of components is in the process engine's source, but it is not yet checked by an engineer.
Who it’s for
- Process engineers who want properties for flowsheet work with the source of each value shown (planned).
- People who need to add their own components to a flowsheet (planned).
What you can do
- Nothing from this listing yet. The intended steps are: pick components from a cited databank, add or replace a component, and submit one for review.
Methods and standards
Planned. The engine's starter table holds critical constants, boiling point, vapor pressure constants, heat capacity constants and formation values taken from public textbook tables, and each component carries its source key.
Data and sources
Planned. The starter table in lib/process/data.js says the values were typed without the book open and are to be checked by an engineer against the book before any design use. It is not a reviewed databank.
Verification
Not yet checked as a databank. The engine's tests, tools/process-test/test.mjs, catch typing errors in the starter table (for example vapor pressure at the normal boiling point), but they do not replace a check against the source.
Limits
Planned, not available. Do not use the starter values for design. The review and submission flow in row IND.7 is not built.
Files and formats
Planned: a Library item kind for components. The format is not yet decided.
Get started
- This databank is planned and cannot be added yet.
- Follow row IND.7 on the roadmap to see when it moves to the lab.
