    Hello guys,

    I am using Reaktoro package and I need more information to write on my report to college.

    With the last versions of DWSIM isn't possible to use the property package of Reaktoro, what is the function of Reaktoro now?

    I know that we just can work with electrolytes using Reaktoro, but DWSIM uses this extension to does anything more? For e.g., to calculate some properties of some stream with electrolytes and water.

    Best regards,

    Thank you in advance

    Hi Matheus,

    Latest info for Reaktoro Property Package is here: https://dwsim.org/wiki/index.php?title=Aqueous_Electrolytes_Property_Package

    It is not available for download anymore because it has some limitations that prevent it from being a general purpose Property Package, i.e., if you have water + ammonia, the latter will not affect water's activity coefficient. Also, you can't use ethanol to calculate freezing point depression, for instance. You must use water as the single solvent.

    Currently, the same Reaktoro backend is used in the Reaktoro Gibbs reactor model, where you can also do the same as the property package did, except that you will not have it for every single material stream and also will not get properties like pH and Ionic Strength.

    Regards
    Daniel
