@iCe_apps_Wey Opyrability is built based on fundamental Python libraries like NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib. A simple shower example is setup in the portal for beginners. Please see: https://t.co/jrAbvd3EBD.

[Fernando V. Lima @fvlima_codes]

Excited to share the official release of Opyrability: A Python package for process operability analysis. This software package is the result of years of work of our CODES research group supported by #NSF. Check it out!

Excited to be part of one of these DOE newly funded clean hydrogen production projects at WVU!

[WVU Statler College @wvustatler]

WVU researchers received over $15 million in DOE grant funding to support research for clean hydrogen fuel production. With this funding, Statler faculty are poised to tackle some of the most pressing issues related to climate change that we face today 🌏
