Abstract

The study considers methods of data communication between programming units for performing engineering calculations of technological equipment through Fortran 90 and more advanced examples of software that are used in mechanical engineering and related industries. Modern Fortran was applied to analyzing methods of data communication between programming units (through lists of parameters, common blocks, modules, and a file interface) that are involved in engineering calculations for technological equipment to expand professional usability of such methods for engineers.

The analysis has revealed a possible loss of data calculation accuracy in case of using a file interface to transfer data between programming units. Other data communication methods guarantee obtaining results within the accuracy of the bit grid for particular data types. Numerous results of testing these programs and the examples in this study show that the calculated data coincide completely in any transfer from one of these methods to another as well as in combining the methods. Among all the considered methods, we have determined that the use of modular design of the interface between programming units seems to be quite an optimal compromise between convenience of programming and efficiency of operating a particular application, with the guarantee of obtaining quite accurate results. In the field of chemical engineering, professional modern Fortran-based engineering calculations of technological equipment can be more efficient if they are made by using different methods of data communication between programming units.
