+
* Ideal gas law (PV=nRT) is simulated.
|-
+
* Thermal conductivity is not simulated. (f.e. heat is transferred at the same fixed rate for all substances; structures and devices are ignored)
! Concept
+
* Thermal radiation is simulated. (caveat: radiated infrared is not absorbed by nearby objects)
! Simulated
+
* Phase change is simulated. (caveat: simplified and with fixed temperature for solid state)
! Notes
+
* Fluid dynamics are not simulated. (caveat: thermal convection is partially simulated)
|-
+
* Gravity is not simulated. Density is also not simulated. (gas pressure determines liquid pressure and liquid is present in all directions)
| Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT)  
+
* Each environment grid cube acts as a single point.
| Partial
+
* Connected pipes network act as a single point. (valves, pumps, mixers, etc act as pipe network splitter)
| Pressure will change with temperature, volume, and moles; Temperature will not change
+
* All pumps/mixer also act as a check valve.
|-
+
* Gas stoichiometry is not used. (H<sub>2</sub>O -> 2H<sub>2</sub> + O<sub>2</sub>, 2H<sub>2</sub> + O<sub>2</sub> -> H<sub>2</sub>O, 4H<sub>2</sub> + 2O<sub>2</sub> + 300C -> 13CO<sub>2</sub> + 5X)
| Thermal Conductivity
+
* Pipes have arbitrary stress value determined by amount of non-correct phase of substance within them (liquid in a gas pipe).
| No
+
* [bug?] Liquid temperature is controlled by gas temperature. (if no gas present, liquid heater will not function)
| Rate of energy transfer is the same for all substances

| Thermal Radiation
 
| Partial
 
| Radiated heat is not absorbed by nearby objects
 
|-
 
| Phase Change
 
| Partial
 
| Gas/Liquid have simplified graph; Solid has a fixed temperature; Plasma is ignored
 
|-
 
| Fluid Dynamics
 
| No
 
| 'Convection' parts work in pressurized environment, other parts work in vacuum
 
|-
 
| Gas Stoichiometry
 
| No
 
| The various reactions are arbitrary and vary depending on device used for different products from the same reactants
 
|-
 
| Gravity/Density  
 
| No
 
| Gas/Liquid is present in all directions
 
|-
 
| Environment Volume
 
| Yes
 
| Each environment cube acts as a single point with fixed volume
 
|-
 
| Pipe Volume
 
| Yes
 
| Each pipe network acts as a single point with fixed volume depending on number of pipes segments
 
|-
 
| Flow Direction
 
| Yes
 
| All pumps and mixer act as check valve, passive check valve available, other valves are not one-way
 
|-  
 
| Pipe Integrity
 
| Yes
 
| Liquid pipes hold low pressure, but may contain both liquid and gas without consequence; Gas pipes hold high pressure, but stress and break with too much liquid
 
|-
 
| Heat Transfer
 
| Partial
 
| Liquid temperature is controlled by gas temperature (if no gas, liquid heater will not function)
