  @bigbadwolfe: If you have a clearly defined model, you could use #-Link-Snipped-# in conjunction with #-Link-Snipped-# to simulate your attemperator.
  In the company where I work, we regularly use it for simulating various fluid dynamics along with the mechanical, and hydraulic systems in the same model.
  Hope this Helps.

  Hello Debu,
  Thank you for taking the time to reply
  i was trying to stay away from matlab because i find it difficult to use.
  
  i have a definite basic design, i tried to attach it but no luck,please send me your email address and i will forward it to you
  
  do you have any other suggestions???
  someone told me i could use autodesk inventor.....
  but i dont know

  @randy: Autodesk Inventor would be useless for anything else except mechanical simulation. In your design to correctly simulate gas/fluid movement you would need to get the equations for simulating fluid turbulence, probably something like the Navier Stokes Equations and maybe the Lattice Boltzmann Methods methods for putting the particles on the grid. I doubt that any thing apart form MatLab could handle so much parallel computing. You could use SimScape to build a 3D model to visually show the simulation. First step would be to have a very clearly defined mathematical model for the entire simulation.
  Hope this helps,
