Chemical Process Systems

Catalog description

Introduction of mathematical and computational tools for analyzing chemical engineering problems. Sequential modular and equation-based simulation of steady-state chemical processes using advanced spreadsheet methods and multivariate root-finding algorithms. Material and energy balances on transient processes and their solution using analytical and numerical methods. Introduction to microscopic material and energy balances using the “shell balance” approach to develop the governing differential equations. Solutions to steady-state boundary value problems in heat conduction and Fickian diffusion.
