Aspen Plus is a powerful process modeling software that our ChemE team is utilizing to model the conventional dryer that is used by our sponsor.  

Posted below is a short video from Cornell about using Aspen Plus to model a dryer and all the involved pieces that are needed to make the simulation converge.

It is very interesting to see that we can simulate and model complex solids handling operations like this and we are excited to see what our team can do with this!
