4 points · 2 lectures, 2 tutorials per week · First semester · Clayton

Objectives The student is expected to develop understanding of the methods of analysis and modelling as applied to chemical engineering systems; to develop skills in the application of those methods for effective problem solution; and to develop basic knowledge and skills in the analysis of reacting systems, control of processes, mass and energy transfer systems of importance to the process industries.

Synopsis Simple model development; use of fundamental relationships (mass and energy balances); use of appropriate constitutive relations. The role of experimentation, data generation, analysis and use. Analysis and basic modelling of steady and unsteady flow systems, control, reacting systems, mass and heat transfer. Development of complex models. Development and reinforcement of skills in the application of modern computational procedures and computer-based techniques for model development and problem solution.
