Applications of Computer in Engineering Especially in Electrolysis Magnesium Industry

In modern times, computers have closely connection with everyone, especially scientist and engineer. Computer programs can now solve difficult problems in a fraction of the time it used to take. Computer-Aided engineering is a powerful tool and necessary for engineering design and manufacture. Nowadays, you no longer have to write your own software programs to use computers effectively. In chemical engineering, a lot of softwares are used in the process of chemical operation, Such as the software for process of chemical engineering Proiquest and Aspen, and Computational fluid dynamics software Fluent and CFX and so on. The details of the process and unite operation can be investigated by computer and software. During electrolysis magnesium, high temperature and airproofed operation condition prevent the study of fluid phenomena in the electrolytic cell. The computational fluid dynamics can overcome these difficulties. Details of the flow field of electrolytic cell can be visualized on the computer screen. Through the visualization, flow field of electrolytic cell and the factors that affect the electrolysis process can be investigated.
