SPEAD WINS 2ND INTERNATIONAL
FLUID PROPERTIES SIMULATION CHALLENGE (IFPSC) PROBLEM.
HOUSTON, TX (November 12, 2004) – The
SPEAD (Step Potentials for Equilibria and Dynamics)
method developed by Dr.
Richard Elliott of the University of Akron and jointly
supported by Chemstations, Inc. and the National Science
Foundation (NSF/GOALI: CTS-0075883) has won problem
1 (prediction of vapor pressure and heat of vaporization)
of the second IFPSC.
The IFPSC announced winners on November 7 at the 2004
Fall National Meeting of the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers (AIChE) in Austin, TX. Dr. Richard
Elliott of the University of Akron and Nathan Massey,
president of Chemstations, Inc., were present for the
announcement.
The SPEAD model has been in development since 1999
with goals of predicting pure physical properties,
pure thermodynamic properties, phase equilibrium
for mixtures, and mixture properties using molecular
simulation. “We are very proud of our involvement
in the project, and congratulate Dr. Elliott for
his success. This represents a large step forward
for the future of molecular simulation as it relates
to the chemical processing industry, and we are excited
to be able to further this technology in the marketplace,” said
Mr. Massey.
