Consider adding estimated duty power during design case mode. Utilize the calculator / equation provided in the 5th Edition of Ludwig's Applied Process Engineering. https://www.elsevier.com/books-and-journals/book-companion/9780323917193 Having the feature to estimate duty power during design mode provide engineer insights on other non-Hydraulic aspects of their system enabling them to decide / plan better.

Might be better to alpha sort the table results. At the moment I am trying to carry out a energy balance along the flowpath and when all properties are displayed it is difficult to fine any particular value. For example in the attached screen shot to follow the Stagnation Pressure along the flow path it becomes frustrating to find the appropriate row as we move along the flowspath since the row order appears to be random.

When changing nodes via mouse right click, include junction as a selectable item for all elements except when replacing known flow or pressure nodes. This makes it easier to build up models.

Placeholder. Discussed early 2024. Add a button to stop / terminate calculation in case solver takes a long time to converge or the user needs to quickly update an input data.

Add a placeholder for dropdown for selecting fluid type data similar to FluidFlow fluid data entry philosophy. Also, make heat transfer properties (Thermal conductivity and specific heat) optional. That is, the user does not need to define any data nor apply default values to simplify the data entry process. If heat transfer calculations is applied for fluid data without heat transfer properties, add a warning message instead to also simplify the analysis.

Remove redundant functionalities in the App settings window, consider reducing number of tabs and add tab for configuring the following: Liquid Friction Loss calculations (Darcy, Shell MIT, H-W) Atmospheric pressure elevation adjustment for boundaries Modifiable range of Reynolds number for Laminar, Transition and turbulent flow

Provide feedback tab for modelling inquiries, handling modelling advise queries. This can be used as basis / building block of FD Knowledge base.

Place individual "reset to default" button for each pages

Add a Sankey Chart tab to the cost charts. This will eventually enable us to Map energy flows within the flowstream Help pinpoint energy losses for optimisation Analyse heat recovery systems (after we implement heat exchangers) Asses carbon footprint by showing carbon emissions across process stages Evaluate resource efficiency.....

Add a feature that would inspect component input definition for any issue that may cause non-convergence. This is to prevent users from spending hours waiting for a transient model to fully calculate, only to find out later that the transient calc is unsuccessful because of input errors.
