At its heart, process simulation is the use of computer software to create a mathematical model of a chemical process. By solving mass and energy balances, the simulation predicts how a process will behave under specific conditions. It transforms a conceptual flowsheet into a predictive tool. 2. The Mathematical Foundation Every simulation relies on three fundamental "pillars":
