Modelling and Simulation in Chemical Engineering

Modelling and Simulation of physical and chemical processes are modern accurate tools for the prediction of properties, optimization of processes, and understanding of nature itself. Today’s computational power and modern approaches to continuously increase that power has provided with an unprecedented opportunity for modeling and simulation in demanding fields, such as chemical engineering. Different approaches of varying accuracy and requirements in time and infrastructure exist that lead to minimization of research times, discovery of novel compounds and manufacturing pathways, identification of problematic stages in chemical and power plants, and understanding of physical and chemical pathways. This scientific seminar includes the presentation of all methods, technologies, means and tools for modeling and simulation in chemical engineering.

By the end of the course, participants should have:

• An overview of all types of modelling and simulation approaches
• Understanding of modeling and simulating physical and chemical processes
• Understanding of theories of modeling and simulation
• Understanding the mathematical background of each approach
• Understanding the physical background of each approach
• Understanding of the potential of application of modeling and simulation in chemical engineering and chemistry
• Knowledge on setting up simulations and using computational tools
• Knowledge on using information from modeling and simulation
• Overview of popular computational chemistry and mathematical tools
