Chemflow 2000 Project 2

This project is a self-training exercise using the Chemflow software.

Perform the selected numerical experiments that are found at the end of the CHEMFLO manual. Perform the tasks as required by the problem statements. Save screen captures that prove you did the work. Provide text to answer the questions as stated in the numerical experiments.
