Lecture Time: Monday 1:20-3:10; Friday 1:20-3:10 (化工二)

Objective: To study simulation and design of chemical processes using computer with emphasis on interaction between design and control

Course Outline:
I. Basics (2wks)
A. Matrix (Module 2)
B. MATLAB (Module 1)
II. Numerical Techniques (2 wks)
A. Algebraic & Nonlinear Equations
B. Numerical Integration
III. Modeling Using Computer (3 wks)
A. Basics
B. Steady-state simulation
C. Dynamics
IV. Steady-state design (including modeling) (4wks)
A. Reactors- CSTR, PFR
B. Separation Processes- binary, multi-component, azeotropic and reactive distillation
C. Heat Management
V. Interaction between design and control (4 wks)
A. Reactors
B. Separators
C. Heat Management
D. Entire plant

Homework and Project:
Homework (mostly computer related) problems will be assigned every other week. You have to work on at least one process in every aspects, steady-state design and dynamic control.

Examination and Presentation:
One mid-term examination will be given plus making a presentation of your project.
