Processing, Storage Tanks, Pressure Vessels, Mixing Systems

Cerebro Mix
CerebroMix is a unique PC-based program which encompasses all the functionality of the other Cerebro products, CerebroTank, CerebroPV and CerebroMixLight. It is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in the evaluation and design of mixers in vertical tanks, either pressurized or atmospheric. Using input data such as primary dimensions, fluid properties and certain desired mixing objectives, the program will output full operating conditions, critical impeller speeds, liquid level gradation, solid suspension and all system dimensions.

This software allows both users and manufacturers of pressure vessels to check their equipment for various operating conditions, in order to provide a risk assessment. The program produces output in the form of a Microsoft

Word Document, with all data listed in tabular form, together with a scale drawing of the tank and its support structure.

Cerebro Tank

Using input data such as geometric dimensions, fluid density, support type, tank material and shape (including heads), the software calculates structural characteristics for the tank and the supports (legs and saddles). Using the wall thicknesses provided by the software, the user can select from a database of standard plate thicknesses; these thicknesses will be factored depending on the degree of corrosiveness of the liquid. The program also gives flange thicknesses for the tank head, allowing for weld efficiency.

Psychrometrics
Psychrometrics (Archon)
This program provides Psychrometric properties of air given two properties as input values at a known altitude (or atmospheric pressure). The properties are determined using the ideal gas law for the behavior of air. Once the properties are determined, the point is indicated on the Psychrometric chart.

Insulation Economics
This program calculates the heat loss and surface temperature of an insulated pipe of specified diameter and internal temperature. It then calculates the present worth cost, $/foot, to own and operate each insulated system. This allows the user to select the optimum insulation thickness for each pipe based either on the cost of the insulation and heat loss or on the maximum acceptable surface temperature. Four types of insulation are supported. Pipe sizes through 36" are included. Three layers of insulation are supported ranging in thickness from 0 to 10".
