Chemical engineering computer applications

(ENG)

4 points + 2 lectures and 2 tutorials per week + Second semester + Clayton + Prerequisites: CHE2150

Synopsis: Advanced application of computer methods to the solution of chemical engineering problems. Use of HYSIS to simulate complex flowsheets. Simulation of complex liquid - vapour equilibrium. Implementation of distillation and reactor unit operations in a HYSIS flowsheet. Numerical solution of partial differential equations characterising many chemical engineering problems. Classification of equations and representation in terms of finite differences and finite elements. Incorporation of the boundary conditions into the numerical solution. Computer packages used to solve complex, realistic chemical engineering problems in fluid flow and transport phenomena.

Assessment: Assignments: 30% + Final examination: 70%
