DWSIM is an app by Daniel Medeiros in the Tools category, listed since at least March 2021. It includes native code for ARM 32-bit and ARM 64-bit, so it runs on practically every phone.
Since version 4.2.0, the APK grew from 29.4 MB to 59.1 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 4.4 to 5.0. It asks for 7 permissions, 4 of them sensitive, including read media images, read media video and modify shared storage. Compared with version 4.2.0, it adds 3 new permissions (“Read media audio”, “Read media images” and “Read media video”) and drops 1 (“Read shared storage”). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

ABOUT CHEMICAL PROCESS SIMULATION
Chemical Process Simulation is a model-based representation of chemical, physical, biological, and other technical processes and unit operations in software. Basic prerequisites are a thorough knowledge of chemical and physical properties of pure components and mixtures, of reactions, and of mathematical models which, in combination, allow the calculation of a process in a computing device.
Process simulation software describes processes in flow diagrams where unit operations are positioned and connected by product or educt streams. The software has to solve the mass and energy balance to find a stable operating point. The goal of a process simulation is to find optimal conditions for a process.
