Abstract

The intention is to develop a piece of multimedia software, with images, animations and calculation routines for dimensioning and detailing of equipment for the sugar-alcohol sector, aiming to provide technical support and teaching activities, for use in the productive sector and in teaching institutions. It is important to highlight that with the advance of information technology, complex and lengthy calculations can be resolved in record time, meeting the practical need of the sugar sector and enabling more exact and precise decision taking, providing higher revenues and productivity.
