Example for inverse Calculation using AsTher Process Calculator for MS Excel
Download InverseCalculation.xls

A system consists of the elements C, O, H, N.

The average temperature is expected between 300 C and 800 C.

Based on these measurements, the partial pressures for CO- and NOx- as well as the temperature of the system 1 bar will be estimated as follows:

1. Sheet for gas and solid phases.
Column A: compounds.
Column B: measured partial pressure.
Column C: when a measurement is to use as reference, then latter "x" written in the cells.
Column D is written by application, while the calculation.

2. Sheet for Conditions
enter in the cell [A1] rcl, the conditions sheet is for inverse calculation (recalculation)

B2: Temperature of the thermodynamic system is given by user in depend of the calculations count
B3: Pressure of the thermodynamic system
B4,C4: Phases of the systems, two sheets are created as Gas and Solid.
B5, BCD
     First letter B: Column B in the sheet Gas contains measurements
     Second letter C: Colmmn C in the sheet Gas contains references
     Third letter D: Calculation results are to write in the column D
C5: similar to B5
B6: calculation count is written by application after each calculation
C6: given by user: when B6<C6, then a following calculation executed.

C7: Statistical correlation coefficient of the calculation result written by application.
1: Measurements values are exact consistent.
0:  thermodynamic equilibrium is not possible.
 

B11: MS Excel file (book) for following calculation '*' mains the same MS Excel book.
B12: Condition sheet of the following calculation, '*' mains the same sheet.
B13: Sheet name, in which the calculation results are to write, the sheet must exists in the same MS Excel book.

Cells [B14] to [B16]: the cells contain links to another cells in a sheet, which data are recorded in the sheet corr.

3. Calculation
