I've been using Baltic Blender for the past year. Also the tools built into MultiDeco. Both are fine for basic solving of gas problems (e.g. Have X/Y @ Zpsi and want XX/YY @ ZZpsi or top X/Y up with XX/YY and get X'/Y')). Baltic Blender even has a very nice “Preblend” feature that allows the use of a blended gas in the solution (e.g. want Tx21/35, use banked Nx32). It also resolves temperature differences from step to step which is pretty nice.
However where they all go a little bonkers is when I'm trying to take an existing mix and turn it into something else with multiple blended gases. Nothing I've found supports it, and right now I “guess” my way through two or three different fill solutions in Baltic to figure out what I have. That also means jumping between multiple fill tabs as I go along. e.g., today I had Tx21/35 and have Tx10/70 and Nx32 as banked gasses. I had to figure out an amount of 10/70 to add that I could feed back in as a “new fill” of the result to top off with 32 and see how it came out. All a mess and generally confusing.
The long and short of it is what do you use for calculating a blend and what do you find helpful vs. not really?
