<description>Prode Properties provides advanced features within Windows applications as Microsoft Excel, Matlab or your own custom software, With Prode Properties you will be able to calculate properties of a pure fluid or a mixture, solve two phase (vapor-liquid equilibria) three phases (vapor-liquid-liquid equilibria), a limited number of multiphase (vapor-liquid-solid equilibria) separations, print phase envelopes, phase diagrams, regress measured VLE / LLE data points for finding the best fitting parameters (BIP), estimate BIP from UNIFAC, calculate heating / cooling curves... Entirely written in C++, Prode Properties
manages up to 100 different streams with up to 50 components per stream (user can redefine).
There are several compilations of chemical data and BIPs available, the user can add new components and BIPs, the flexible database format works with all majour standards including DIPPR.
Properties includes a comprehensive set of thermodynamic models, base version has Regular, Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC, UNIFAC, Soave-Redlich-Kwong, Peng-Robinson, BWRS, Lee-Kesler-Plocker, Steam Tables... 
Many additional models as PC-SAFT etc. are available on request, contact Prode for details.

<title>Prode HED</title>
       <link>http://www.prode.com/en/hed.htm</link>
       <guid>http://www.prode.com/en/hed.htm</guid>
<description>Prode HED provides a simple and effective way for the thermal design and rating of shell and tube heat exchangers, Prode HED analyses all the common heat exchangers processes including :
Sensible heat, both liquid and vapor;
Forced circulation evaporators;
Horizontal and vertical condensers;
Falling film evaporators;
Prode HED is a C++ Windows application developed by Prode, the interface features graphing capabilities, easy editing and choice of different units of measurement.
Prode HED works alongside Prode PPP to predict fluid properties and heat curves for a wide range of pure fluids and mixtures. Prode PPP comprehensive thermodynamic models in union with zone analysis provide a great flexibility, the user is also allowed to specify directly fluid properties. 
Fluid properties may be specified directly by the user or calculated with Prode PPP.
Rigorous heat curves with Prode PPP;
Multizone analysis;
Prode HED does multizone analysis via stepwise calculations, different combinations of heat transfer models are allowed:
Single phase fluids in laminar, transition or turbulent flow regime;
Boiling of liquids;
Condensation of vapors;
Prode HED can handle several different configurations:
TEMA type designations for front end, shell and rear end;
Single, double and triple segmental baffles;
Tube layout may be 30 or 60 degree triangular, 45 or 90 degree square;
Prode HED produces a detailed report including:
Properties of mixture including VLE (multizone analysis);
Comprehensive information on shellside and tubeside heat transfer coefficents;
Tema data sheet;
