Course Objective:
Learn to
develop mathematical models of phenomena involved in various chemical
engineering processes and solutions for these models.
Introduction: Process modeling and simulation, Industrial usage of process modeling and simulation, Macroscopic and microscopic mass,
energy and momentum balances.
Process Models: Classification of
mathematical models: Transport phenomena, population balance, Models for flash
vessels, reactors, heat exchangers, distillation columns, absorption columns
etc.
Process Simulation: Problem formulation,
Flow sheeting problem, Specification problem, Optimization problem, Synthesis
problem, Simulation approaches: Modular, equation solving, Decomposition of
networks: Partitioning, tearing, signal flow graphs, System stability, Sensitivity,
Determinacy.
Process Simulator(s): Commercial simulation
packages (Aspen Plus/Aspen Hysys) for steady state
simulation, Modeling and simulation of complex
industrial systems in petroleum, petrochemicals, polymers etc.
