  • Anyone Can comprehend terminal output for Coolprop python

    I did have a gander, but the error is a bit beyond me. Others had reported a similar issue; https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp/issues/1872 but the workaround there didn't work for me.
  • Ask HN: How are you dealing with the M1/ARM migration?
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 10 Jun 2022
    For me it's been quite entirely painless. I've even used Time Machine to migrate from a 2012 Intel iMac to an Apple Silicon Mac Mini and it worked perfectly!

    The two pain points:

    1. No support for running older virtualized macOS. I like to test back to 10.9 and need an Intel Mac to do that.

    2. One Python wheel which doesn't have Apple Silicon builds and doesn't build cleanly: https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp/issues/2003

    Then you have github, where you can find very good thinks like CoolProp or the one that was posted before.

  • How to learn ASPEN as non chem e major.
    1 project | /r/ChemicalEngineering | 23 Apr 2023
    Hey! I'm a non ChemE (Mechanical Engineering major) that actually had to learn a chemical process modeling software for an internship called DWSIM. I heard a lot about ASPEN, and form what I've told, there are some similarities between the UI of both. DWSIM is free and opensource, there's a lot of tutorials online too. In addition, there's also papers on their website that compare its results to ASPEN. I left a link here, hope this helps! https://dwsim.org/
