Nuclear Power

Use CHEMCAD to build full reactor‐coolant and steam‐generator flowsheets with rigorous mass‐/energy‐balance. Pair with Pipe Flow Modeling to analyze cooling systems, pressure waves, water‐hammer, and relief‐valve responses in safety‐critical piping. Ensure thermal margins and surge protection meet regulatory requirements.
Power-1 Power-1

Gas & Steam Power Generation

Model combustion, fuel-gas conditioning, and turbine inlet systems in CHEMCAD to balance NOₓ control, efficiency, and emissions. Use Pipe Flow Modeling to size fuel-gas piping, compressors, and filtration skid piping, accurately predicting pressure drops and flow splits under varying loads.
Power-2 Power-2

Renewable Power Generation

Build CHEMCAD flowsheets for evaporative coolers, ORC heat recovery loops, or biogas cleanup to evaluate efficiency and heat integration. Complement with Pipe Flow Modeling to size penstocks, surge chambers, and tailrace piping—predicting transient and steady‐state head losses for safe operation.
Power-3 Power-3

Carbon Capture

In CHEMCAD, configure absorber–stripper trains for syngas or flue-gas capture, optimize solvent regeneration, and perform pinch analysis on heat integration. Leverage Pipe Flow Modeling to hydraulically analyze absorber and solvent‐recycle piping to ensure uniform flow and sizing pumps and heat‐exchanger inlet lines.
Power-4 Power-4

Cooling-Water System Design

Simulate cooling towers, chillers, and condenser loops in CHEMCAD to evaluate thermal duty, water balance, and blowdown strategy. Use Fathom to size circulating pumps, piping headers, and expansion tanks to model head losses and transient events like cooling‐tower basin drainage.
Power-5 Power-5

Combined-Cycle

Build CHEMCAD models of combined‐cycle systems to recover gas‐turbine exhaust heat in HRSGs, optimize steam extraction pressures, and balance power generation vs. thermal export. With Pipe Flow Modeling, design steam headers, feedwater returns, and cooling loops to calculate the correct pressure profiles and minimize capital costs.
Power-6 Power-6

Hydrogen

Simulate hydrogen production from reforming reactions through heat integration and product compression. Run time-step simulations to predict temperature swings, valve response, and relief-header loads during compressor ramp-up or system upsets, supporting safe operation. With Pipe Flow Modeling, calculate line-pack and compressor duty across gathering lines or identify water-hammer waves from fast valve closures and pump trips.
