RE: computer programs
I need a process model a couple of times a year and generally find that the limited need can be accomplished in some really complex MathCad files I've developed over the years to keep from having to spend $15-20k/year on Hysys or Prosim.
To me the one indispensable program is a math engine. I've had great luck with MathCad, but the new user interface with Mathmatica probably makes it about as good. I haven't tried PTC's replacement for MathCad since the pre-release free feel I got which I hated.

"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.

I was a Mathmatica user in university and I will have a look into how it is today.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's not safe ... make it that way.

For now, I would like to point out Epanet as a free yet powerful and easy-using hydraulic modeling tool for steady and extended time modes.

You might also consider some heat transfer software. 3E Plus is free http://www.pipeinsulation.org/
