In the Virtual Laboratory for Properties Prediction (in portuguese: Laboratório Virtual de Predição de Propriedades – LVPP) we develop calculation methods for the prediction of properties of industrial relevant mixtures. Computational codes are developed in different programming languages, mainly Java, C, C++, Scilab, and Matlab.
Of particular interest is the development of methods and codes for phase equilibria prediction with special attention on COSMO-based models, advanced equations of state and mixing rules. On this subject we distribute and maintain the sigma-LVPP database and the JCOSMO package.
Regarding process simulation, we also collaborate with the Simulation Laboratory (in portuguese: Laboratório de Simulação – LASIM).
Here we have a word cloud for the titles of our recent published articles. This is a nice way to see what are the topics we are working on:
