IDAES-PSE 2.3.0rc0 Release Highlights

New Features and Models

• New diagnostics toolboxes and examples
  • Tutorial for using the DiagnosticsToolbox
  • Methods to identify potential evaluation errors in models
  • `SVDToolbox`` for performing singular value decomposition analysis on models to identify possible degeneracies and poor scaling
  • DegeneracyHunter for identifying irreducible degenerate sets in models
• Model for solid-liquid separation which takes two inputs (solid and liquid streams) and produces three outlets (solids, liquid entrained with solids and pure liquid)
• Example of temperature swing adsorption in models_extra

Deprecation Warnings

• With the update to Pyomo 6.7.0, the plate heat exchanger model has begun failing tests on some CI platforms. If this is not addressed by the February release, this model may be removed due to failing tests. See #1294. Offers to help identify the cause and fix this issue are welcome.

Improvements and bug fixes

• Fixed oversight which precluded using Mixer and Separator models when inherent reactions were present in property package
• Added reporting methods to the MSContactor model
• Minor corrections in some examples where values were being fixed outside of declared variable bounds
