Aims: This unit will introduce you to the transient behaviour of processes, and the mathematical models and numerical methods by which this behaviour can be described, analysed and controlled.
Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit, you will be able to:
* Develop appropriate mathematical models to solve problems based on chemical engineering principles and processes (A1b) [CLO: K1; I1]
* Interpret chemical engineering scenarios to identify the effect of processing steps on the materials being processed and end products (A2.4c) [CLO: T2]
* Interpret chemical engineering scenarios to predict the response to changes in a dynamic systems (A2.5c) [CLO: P1]
* Design control systems for chemical engineering processes with given product specifications (A2.5c) [CLO: P2]
Skills:
* Analysis [T,F,A]
* Problem solving [T,F,A]
Content:
* Introduction to transient bevahour of processes
* Introduction to formulation of mathematical models
