srebughini / asalipy

A Python package to simulate chemical reactors

1. Introduction

ASALIPY is part of the ASALI project and it is a python library to model chemical reactors based on Cantera. Here a list of the available reactor models:

• Batch Reactor
• Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor
• 1-Dimensional Pseudo-Homogeneous Plug Flow Reactor
• 1-Dimensional Heterogeneous Plug Flow Reactor

2. Installation

ASALIPY requires Anaconda as package manager, since stable versions of Cantera and Assimulo are not available for Pypi. Here you can find how to install Anaconda on your operating system.

2.1 Using Anaconda

ASALIPY conda package can be installed as follow:

conda install -c conda-forge asalicode::asali

2.2 Using Github

If you want to use ASALIPY locally, without installing its conda package, it can be installed as follow:

git clone https://github.com/srebughini/ASALIPY.git
cd ASALIPY
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate asali
