Course contents :
|
| The course consists in two parts. First, it makes an overview of methods for evaluating the physical and thermodynamic properties of mixtures. The main types of state equations are described. Then, the thermochemical variables characterizing reactions are presented and chemical equilibria are studied.
The second part of the course consists in 3 course modules. The first one is about dynamic modelling: formulation, analysis of the degrees of freedom, and introduction to the control of processes. The second one provides an introduction to process optimization: numerical optimization methods, solving approaches, basics of process intensification. The last module gives an insight into the economic evaluation of processes, which is necessary to assess the financial viability of all new processes. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The first part of the course aims to give the ability to practically evaluate thermodynamic data based on incomplete data and to select the most relevant methods among those offered by calculation software. It will also teach how to evaluate the accuracy and the reliability of these estimation methods.
The second part of the course will enable the students to further use some simulation software for static simulation and to get an introduction to dynamic modelling of large chemical processes. The part about dynamic modelling will complete the presentation of the dynamics and control of linear systems that has been made in the Bachelor courses. It enables the students to use software tools based on rigorous non-linear models for applications ranging in process control, performance follow-up and optimization of integrated chemical processes. Finally, students will learn the basics of economic evaluation and financial analysis of a process. |
