Learning Outcomes: |
After successfully completing this unit, you will be able to:
* Assess available modelling techniques and approaches and identify limitations for a given chemical engineering challenge (A2, A6d) [CLO: I3] * Choose and apply appropriate techniques and information to tackle a given chemical engineering challenge (e.g. design the product, tool or device) (A2, A6b) [CLO: P2] * Relate information from other disciplines to the choice of tmodelling technique (A6f) [CLO: P1] * Compare, recommend and justify the choice of modelling technique for a given chemical engineering challenge (A2, A6d) [CLO: I2] |
Aims: | This unit will introduce different computational and numerical techniques and approaches for modelling complex chemical or biochemical processes. |
Skills: | * Analysis (T,F,A)nd interpretation (T,F,A) * Problem solving (T,F,A) |
Content: | * Statistical mechanics and molecular modelling (e.g. molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo) as applied to interfaces and phase equilibria (e.g. adsorption, surfaces, phase separation, surfactants...) * Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and associated advanced fluid mechanics applied to chemical engineering. * Fundamentals and application of Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data in engineering. |
