Hello everyone!
After a few decades employed in manufacturing and process engineering design, I am starting up a new venture as an independent engineering contractor. As some of my clients do not have access to large-budget enterprise software suites, such as Aspen and AFT Arrow/Fathom, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for more affordable or open source/free software packages that can be used reliably for single-phase compressible/non-compressible fluid pressure drop calculations and for equipment sizing purposes?
Thanks in advance for any recommendations you can provide.

If you're just doing relatively simple stuff, making a quick calculator based off Crane TP #410 or using any of the online calculators available would be your cheapest bet.
