Q1. Please explain what the thermodynamic first and second laws are. First law of thermodynamics: - statement of conservation of energy. Energy can be change from one form to another form but it cannot be created and destroyed. Second law of thermodynamics: - Direction of that conservation in all energy exchange if no energy enter or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less then that of the initial state.

Q2. What is a Process Simulator? And commercial simulation tools? Process simulator is model based representation of process. By means of process flow diagram and sequential modeling Commercial simulation tool. Hysys Aspen + CHEMCAD CFD
