Aim

Simulation technique is a very important tool in process industry for advanced studies, such as analysis of operation condition changes and design of new processes. The course present a deepened skills and understanding of computer aided analysis and design of chemical processes. The course objective is to create opportunities for the student to become an competent user and commissioner of simulation technique through the presentation of possibilities, limitations and complexity by the technology.

Contents

The course presents the formulation of mathematical models with companion numerical method for the solution of steady-state and dynamic lumped descriptions together steady-state and dynamic distributed descriptions. Elementary programming techniques to abstract and structuring for increased usage of computer based tools with graphical interface.

The course theory and methods are applied on a simulation project which is divided into a set of subtasks. The project is performed in group of two or three students. The course is based on integrated lectures and computer exercises under the first part. The second part of the course is dominated by independent project work. The course ends with an internal conference.
