After successfully completing this unit, you will be able to:
* Choose and apply appropriate techniques and information to overcome complexity and uncertainty and tackle a given chemical engineering challenge (e.g. design the product, tool or device) (A1 Level F, A2.2 Level F, A2.5 Level F, A4.2 Level F3, A4.2 Level F4, A5.2 Level F1, A5.2 Level F2) [CLO: P2] * Relate information from other disciplines to the choice of modelling technique (A3.2 Level F3, A5.2 Level F8) [CLO: P1] * Compare, recommend and justify the choice of modelling technique for a given chemical engineering challenge, including identification of limitations (A2.2 Level F, A2.6 Level F2, A3.2 Level F2 A5.2 Level F4) [CLO: I2] * Apply chemical engineering principles and systems thinking, considering conflicting requirements (safety, social, economics, sustainability, ethics) in complex chemical engineering problems (A2.4 Level F1, A2.4 Level F2, A2.5 Level F1, A2.6 Level F1, A2.7 Level F, A5.2 Level F3) [CLO I1] |
Content: | * Statistical mechanics and molecular modelling (e.g. molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo) as applied to interfaces and phase equilibria (e.g. adsorption, surfaces, phase separation, surfactants...) * Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and associated advanced fluid mechanics applied to chemical engineering. * Fundamentals and application of Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data in engineering. |
Skills: | * Analysis (T,F,A)nd interpretation (T,F,A) * Problem solving (T,F,A) |
Aims: | This unit will introduce different computational and numerical techniques and approaches for modelling complex chemical or biochemical processes. |
