The latest version 4.1 of HSC Chemistry^sup R^ software from Outokumpu Research Oy (available for Windows 95, 98 and NT) is reported to contain new calculation modules, new properties and a significantly increased and upgraded database of over 15,000 compounds (compared with 11,000), which now includes additional data such as structural formulae, chemical names, common names, CAS numbers, melting points, boiling points etc.
HSC Chemistry is designed to analyse chemical reactions and equilibria in process chemistry. It is said to be used in process development and education by the world's largest chemical and metallurgical companies and most prominent universities in 65 countries.
HSC Chemistry 4.1 consists of 12 calculation modules, displayed as options in the main HSC menu: reaction equations; heat and material balances; equilibrium compositions; electrochemical cell equilibria; formula weights; phase stability diagrams; Eh-pH diagrams; enthalpy, entropy, heat capacity, Gibbs energy and Ellingham diagrams; mineralogy iterations; composition conversions; units conversions; and properties of elements.
All calculation modules automatically use...
