N2 - Many practical problems in chemical engineering give rise to the need to solve systems of non-linear algebraic equations (NLE). Typical examples include phase equilibrium and chemical equilibrium computations, steady state process simulation, flow distribution in pipeline networks etc. Nowadays powerful mathematical software packages are available for solving systems of NLEs. Shacham and Cutlip[1] evaluated and compared six state of the art software packages. In this work only the POLYMATH[2] and MATLAB[3] packages are employed. Based on our experience, these packages can serve as good representative of the additional ones.
