ABSTRACT

This chapter present Python as a tool to solve examples for different fields within chemical engineering. The structure of the chapter is divided between basics, where the main features of the software are describe introducing data structures, programming language, functions definitions, plotting and equation solving, and the examples that make use of them in particular examples for equipment analysis such a fluidized bed or a cooling tower operation, or in the reaction engineering area to solve problems in steady state as well as dynamic examples such as a reactive distillation case.
