CHE 572 - Modelling Process Dynamics

This course will cover both first-principles and empirical modelling of dynamic processes. A detailed understanding of process behaviour is essential for: process simulation and design, process control and optimization, process operator training, process troubleshooting, capital investment studies, and so forth. The main purpose of this course is to promote the student's understanding of a variety of processes and how such knowledge can be employed to develop high quality mathematical models to represent process behaviour. Such skills are an important part of an engineer's toolbox, since industry has identified process modelling as a key activity for improving profitability and have invested significant resources in this activity.
