| Aim: To enable the participants to formulate and analyze mathematical models for chemical engineering systems, and to solve the models by exact mehods or by analytical approximative methods. |
| Contents: Formulation of differential equation models for stationary and non-stationary processes involving species diffusion, heat conduction and chemical reaction. Formulation of boundary conditions. Systems of spherical or cylindrical geometry, other non-planar problems. Solutions expressed as special functions: Gamma function, Bessel functions and error function. Simple numerical integration applied to non-linear equations. Perturbation methods. La Place transformation, linearization, introduction to stability. Partial differential equation models. Solution by separation of variables (Sturm-Liouville transformation). Examples of other analytical solution methods suited for special problems. |
