Issue 49 GTT-News December 12, 2005 • Mr. T. Niki of Ube Industries: Direct Survey of Coal Combustion and Gasification Process, and Estimation of Ash Behavior by FactSage • Mr. S. Sakurai of RCCM: Estimation of Slag Viscosity by Neural Network and Expansion (under Development) by ChemApp • Mr. K. Tanaka of Simulation Technology: The Link between FactSage and OLI • Dr. M. Yahagi of Nikko Materials: Estimation of the Efficiency of Fuel Cells by FactSage • Mrs. T. Yamashita of JFE Steel: Analysis of Steel Material Structures using Thermodynamic Equilibrium Calculations They did show with their contributions how broad the application range of Computational Thermochemistry has meanwhile become and how successful it can be applied. Special thanks are also given to Mr. I. Amamoto, Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute, and Dr. R. Hidaka, Hyogo Ecotown, for their support of the meetings in Tokai and Kobe respectively. We would furthermore like to express our thanks to our colleagues at RCCM 2 , in particular Mr. Yuichi Nagano, who put a great deal of effort into the organisation of the workshops. It is planned to have a similar meeting in Tokyo again next year. Upcoming events in 2006 Several of our users have indicated that early information about the important dates in the new year is desired. Please note the following: • GTT-Technologies Annual Workshop, Herzogenrath, Germany, May 17-19, 2006 We would like to remind everybody that we are always interested in having your contribution (25-30 min) on the agenda of our annual GTT workshop. So please have a good look at your files and let the audience at the workshop hear about your applications of computational thermochemistry. • F*A*C*T Workshop and Conference, Montreal, Canada, May 15-17, 2006 • DGM Fortbildungseminar Computerunterstützte Thermodynamik 3 (in German), Maria Laach, Germany, June 12-14, 2006 Recent publications In the context of the second discussion forum on corrosion of steam generators in Freiberg, Germany, a proceedings volume has been edited by the chairman Prof. Dr. M. Born (Dampferzeugerkorrosion, ISBN 3-934409-27-X) in which several contributions show the importance of the use of Computational Thermochemistry (represented by FactSage 4 and ChemApp 5 ) for this field. More information on the book, including a table of contents, is available on the web site of the publisher 6 , where the book can also be ordered. 2 http://www.rccm.co.jp/ 3 http://www.dgm.de/fortbildung/?tgnr=776 4 http://www.factsage.com/ 5 http://www.gtt-technologies.de/chemapp 6 http://www.saxonia-freiberg.de/ © 2005, GTT-Technologies 2 info@gtt-technologies.de
Issue 49 GTT-News December 12, 2005 Furthermore, as one of the results of the three year European project OptiCorr on the optimisation of inservice performance of boiler steels by modelling high temperature corrosion that ended in February of this year, the so-called "OptiCorr Guide Book" is now available. It summarises the major experimental results of the project and gives a comprehensive survey of the thermochemical modelling of corrosive processes induced by a molten salt layer and by direct contact of the boiler material with oxygen containing atmospheres. Furthermore, a whole series of classical one- and two-dimensional phase mappings pertaining to corrosion systems is given. In addition a preliminary model for the formation of deposits from the flue gas and the aerosols contained in it is discussed. The "OptiCorr Guide Book" has been published as VTT Research Notes 2309 with the European registration number EUR 21736 EN and ISBN 951-38-6739-0. It can be ordered in printed form from VTT Information Service 7 and is also available online as a PDF file 8 . CSFAP - the ChemSage File Administration Program We are busy working on the upcoming Version 1.6 of CSFAP which is projected for release by mid February, 2006. The capabilities of CSFAP will grow considerably with this version since there will be full access to the thermochemical data contained in a ChemSage-DAT file. Thus a user can prepare his thermochemical datafiles for example for use with OptiSage by way of CSFAP. It can also be used to combine (merge) many small files, for example on binary subsystems, into larger database-like files on ternary and even higher systems. These large files can then be uploaded into FactSage for use in Equilib and Phase Diagram calculations. New HASP drivers released Aladdin 9 has recently released updated HASP drivers (V4.99). If you are experiencing problems with your hardware key, in particular under Microsoft Windows © XP and 64bit versions of Windows, please follow these steps to update your drivers: 1. Exit FactSage, ChemApp, ChemSheet, or SimuSage 2. Download the latest drivers 10 3. Unpack the HASP4_driver_setup.zip archive 4. Install the new driver by executing hdd32.exe 5. Restart your software News from the F*A*C*T Group, CRCT Our partners at the CRCT 11 have released their latest newsletter. For the latest news from the CRCT please consult the F*A*C*T News web pages. 7 http://www.vtt.fi/inf/pdf/ 8 http://www.vtt.fi/inf/pdf/tiedotteet/2005/T2309.pdf 9 http://www.aladdin.com/ 10 ftp://ftp.aladdin.com/pub/hasp/new_releases/driver/HASP4_driver_setup.zip 11 http://www.crct.polymtl.ca/ © 2005, GTT-Technologies 3 info@gtt-technologies.de
