Summary
This module is about steady-state process simulation by computer. Students will use a commercial package in a design environment and will develop an understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of such tools. Students will complete a series of assignments in their own time. (The current package is HYSYS).
Target Students
Available to Year 3 students registered on the following courses: Chemical Engineering and Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering; MSc in Chemical Engineering.
Classes
- One 3-hour workshop each week for 12 weeks
Assessment
- 40% Inclass Test 1: 3 hour test
- 60% Inclass Test 2: 3 hour test
Educational Aims
This module aims to promote a deeper understanding of steady-state process simulation by computer. It has as an objective to illustrate the benefits and limitations of using commercial simulation software for process design.Learning Outcomes
Module Learning Outcomes (MLO)
A student who has successfully completed this module will be able to:
1. Decide whether process simulation is appropriate and useful for a process or part of the process.
2. Build simple simulations from problem descriptions.
3. Be sufficiently familiar with the software to tackle new simulation problems distinctly different from the taught examples.
4. Analyse and evaluate simulation output.
5. Communicate simulation objectives, methods and outcomes to a technical audience.
