CHEN 441 - Computer-Aided Process Design

When Offered: F, S, SS

3 Credit(s)
3 Lecture Hour(s)
0 Lab Hour(s)

Computer models of varying complexity are used to simulate the behavior of many unit-operations. Students complete computer aided mass and energy balances for complete chemical plants. Selecting the best computer model for each process step is stressed. Interrelationships between design and process variables using computer simulation are studied. Optimization methods are applied to chemical process design. A current simulation package is used.

Prerequisite(s): Senior standing in CHEN or consent of instructor.
