Course description and aims

To achieve safe and efficient operations of today's highly integrated chemical processing plants, an understanding of the dynamic behaviors is important from both process design and process control perspectives. With an emphasis on the dynamic nature of chemical processes, the course will cover chemical process modeling (material and energy balances, constitutive relationships, etc.), numerical techniques (numerical integration, algebraic equations), and linear and nonlinear systems analysis (Laplace transforms, bifurcation, etc.). State-of-the-art chemical process control techniques will be also introduced.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) derive an ODE model of chemical processes on the basis of mass balance and energy balance
2) solve the ODE model numerically
3) make model-based analysis of the system
4) design a feedback control system.

Keywords

Process modeling, Dynamic simulation, Process control

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Every class has a lecture and a solution to homework reports (Matlab programming) assigned in the previous class.
