By the end of this course, students will be able to :
Understand the role and scope of modeling in process engineering and its relationship with simulation, design, control, and optimization.
- Formulate mathematical models for chemical and physical processes using fundamental conservation laws (mass, energy, momentum).
- Apply thermodynamic principles to model phase equilibria using equations of state and activity-coefficient approaches.
- Develop differential and algebraic equations describing the dynamic and steady-state behavior of chemical process units (CSTR, PFR, distillation, extraction, etc.).
- Interpret model assumptions and simplifications, assess model validity, and estimate model parameters.
- Use numerical methods and software tool to solve and analyze process models.
- Critically analyze model results to support process design, optimization, and scale-up decisions.
