Process Modelling

2020/2021

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

This project module deals with modelling of chemical processes and chemical process units.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

Students who have passed the module should be able to

  • account for chemical processes, chemical reactors and separation units
  • account for relevant simulation tools for modelling and designing chemical processes, chemical reactors and separation units
  • account for chemical process synthesis and process optimization
  • account for instrumentation, economic, safety and environmental aspects of chemical processes

Skills

  • select, apply and develop experimental methods for generating data supporting process modelling
  • investigate a given case using modelling tools
  • create a computational model of a given case in the chemical industry
  • write a project report following the standards of the field of study, include relevant original scientific literature, use the correct terminology, and communicate the research-based foundation and problem and results in writing, graphically and orally in a professionally reasoned and coherent way
  • assess and select relevant original scientific literature and current scientific methods, models and other tools used in the project and asses the problem of the project and results in relevant scientific contexts and social conditions

Competences

  • communicate chemical engineering problems and solutions to peers, interdisciplinary groups, and non-specialists, including collaborative partners and end-users
  • handle the planning, implementation and management of complex and unpredictable research and/or developmental tasks and take professional responsibility to implement academic assignments and interdisciplinary collaborations
  • take responsibility for own professional development and specialization
