| Recommended semester: 7th - 9th semester |
| Scope and form: Lectures and computer exercises. |
Evaluation: Project report
The final problems may be student initiated in connection with projects external to the course. A problem statement must be approved prior to work on the final problem. |
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Previous course: 36462 |
| Prerequisites: (28260 / 28860).28863. Some experience with set-up and analysis of mathematical models. Basic knowledge of FORTRAN. |
| Preferred prerequisites: 28230 / 28240 / 28250. A course in transport phenomena, reaction engineering or chemical process control. |
| No credit points with: 36462 |
| Participant limitation: Max. 30 |
| Aim: To enable the participants' use of numerical methods in the solution of differential equation models typical of chemical engineering. |
Contents: Solution of ordinary and partial differential equation models describing mass, energy and momentum transport and reaction in chemical engineering systems. Approximation by the method of weighted residuals. Lagrange interpolation, Gaussian quadrature and collocation based on orthogonal polynomials. Numerical solution of discretized problems. Eigenvalue problems in transport processes. Coupled ordinary differential equations. Integration of stiff systems.
Examples are used extensively and form the basis of the course. |
| Remarks: KT offers a short introduction to FORTRAN programming (28863) during the first week of every semester. Knowledge of FORTRAN at the level of the introductory course is a prerequisite for the computer exercises. |
