i am planning to simulate a jet refrigeration. a jet pump integrated to a refrigeration system. what is the suitable simulation software for this job. thanks!

RE: simulation software
I bought a program from IHS that was developed by Engineering Sciences Data Unit (EDSU). Module 92042 has the performance calculations for Ejectors and Jet Pumps. I had to find a Fortran Compiler to get it to work, and the input/output feels very 1980. It is difficult to tell if an iteration ran to completion, and it truly is a pain to run. BUT the results are amazing. I modeled a jet pump (that I subsequently got a patent for), and field measurements were all within 3% of predicted performance. I used it to design a couple of other super-sonic ejectors that both performed within 5% of model predictions. As I recall it was truly a pain to find on IHS' web page, and it was a bit expensive (as I recall it was under $1k, but that is just for source code, then I had to find a compiler). I've always threatened to write a Visual Basic front/back end to build the input data file, run the program, and reformat the output file (it is pretty ugly), but every time I've started on it I've had to drop it for revenue generating stuff.

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.
The plural of anecdote is not "data"

it's free and developed by several universities, with process engineering in mind, and has a model library that includes some unit operations.
I myself have not really begun learning the software, so I can't really say if it's a suitable tool.
