Summary
Aims of the course are following: 1. to give systematic overview of computer aided methods for processes and modelling in chemical technology. 2. to allow practical application in the field of software Aspen Plus®.
Process and system engineering is wide and general scientific. Only one important part, modelling and simulation will be focused on under this course. Course is referring to Process engineering, Unit operation, and Physical chemistry courses. In the frame of the course general problems of heat, momentum and mass transfer will be located to realistic unit operation and solved using sophisticated modelling software. Graduate will be able to orient himself in processes simulation field; will be able to work with relatively complicated software Aspen Plus®; will be able to treat simple technological processes independently.
