Description
Aims:
- To provide an introduction to process design, bringing together elements of process analysis and detailed process phenomena and preparing the students for the 3rd year design project.
- To develop skills in the use of computational modelling and optimisation tools.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module students should:
- understand what design entails and how to apply this to both new and existing process designs;
- understand the use of modelling, simulation and optimisation tools in design;
- understand the connection between the technologies, the phenomena and overall processes
Synopsis:
- Introduction to design: processes, economics, flowsheeting
- Flowsheet design: heuristic, algorithmic
- Heat exchanger network design
- Case studies: reactor system design, separation sequencing, recycles
