Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

• Fundamentals: Continuity equations, energy conservation, momentum conservation and state equations; Transport properties; Equilibrium and chemical kinetics; Thermodynamic correlations for estimating physical properties. • Use and scope of mathematical modelling; principles of model formulation; principles of steady-state and dynamic simulation; simulation of models; sequential modular approach; Equation-based approach; analysis of simulation data. • Introduction and use of process simulation software for flowchart simulation • Modelling and simulation of specific systems: e.g., heat conduction in a rod; laminar flow of Newtonian fluid in a pipe; heat exchanger; gravity tank, Power Engineering

Learning outcomes

After completing the module, students will be able to analyse physical and chemical phenomena involved in different processes, develop mathematical models and use different process simulation approaches using ASPEN PLUS.
