When Offered: F, S, SS

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

In this course students learn to apply contemporary numerical methods including linear algebraic solutions for chemical engineering design problems. Numerical methods of differentiation, integration, interpolation, root-finding, linear and nonlinear regression, matrix manipulation, linear simultaneous equations, and solution of ordinary differential equations are discussed. Using process simulation software in the lab, students create a design with idealized mixing, reaction, separation, and mass energy balances, and evaluate performance parameters.

Prerequisite(s): CHEN 200 (with a grade of C or higher), CHEN 121 (with a grade of C or higher)
