The most significant new feature in Pyrosim is the generalised empirical mode this is designed to replace the non-equilibrium stainless steel models. However explanation will be given for situations where data is exported from Thermo to Pyrosim. Thermodynamic data can now be edited in Thermo and exported to Pyrosim.

Pyrosim is most suited to study complex systems, while Thermo allows compounds and single reactions to be rapidly analysed. Recently Pyrosim and Thermo (both developed by Rodney Jones) have now evolved into a suite of products. high temperature fusion and cupellation during platinum group metal chemical analysis, and the chemical interaction between a refractory brick and a molten metal bath. Designed as a process simulator, it has nevertheless also been used to simulate other systems, e.g.

Pyrosim is a pyrometallurgical process simulation package which can be configured to simulate many different high temperature metallurgical operations. This manual discusses the features available in Pyrosim version 1.50.
