COCO

Welcome to COCO.

COCO is a CAPE-OPEN compatible simulation environment. It consists of the following 4 parts:

	COFE: CAPE-OPEN Flow-sheeting Environment
	TEA: Thermodynamics for Engineering Applications
	COUSCOUS: CAPE-OPEN Unit-operations (Simple)
	CORN: CAPE-OPEN Reaction Numerics
The following additional utilities are available:
	Water: IAPWS-97 based steam and water property package
	CORK: the CAPE-OPEN Registry Kit
	OATS: out-of-process thermo server and CAPE-OPEN logging tool; includes unit operation logger tool COULIS
	COFE.xlt: a Microsoft ExcelTM spread-sheet template designed to include a COFE document in an Excel workbook
	JUIcE: an editor for unit operation icons
	TERNYP: TERNarY Plugin. Creation of phase diagrams, property plots and residue curves of ternary systems
	COFEStand: COFE stand-alone command line based flowsheet solver utility
	ConfigureTEA: a utility application to configure and maintain TEA property packages
	ConfigureCORN: a utility application to configure and maintain CORN reaction packages
	CUP: COCO Update utility for online software updates
Third party components that are shipped with COCO:
	ChemSep LITE: ChemSep is a program for performing multi-component separation process calculations
	COSMOtherm LITE: COSMOtherm is a program for the quantitative calculation of solvation mixture thermodynamics based on quantum chemistry
	CAPE-OPEN type libraries: type libraries required for CAPE-OPEN development and CAPE-OPEN based inter-process communication
	EPA WAR and .NET CAPE-OPEN: WAR plugin and .NET CAPE-OPEN libraries (External link)
	Excel Unit Operation: unit operation using Microsoft ExcelTM as calculation engine (External link)

Harry and Ross provided us with the pure component data bank and ChemSep's thermodynamic model library. TEA's thermodynamic property calculation methods are largely based on ChemSep's model library.
