3. Derive total energy balance for chemical processes

Course Content:

1. General mathematical modelling principles

2. Step-by-step procedure in developing total mass balance for chemical processes (10 exercises).

3. Step-by-step procedure in developing total component balance for chemical processes (13 exercises).

4. Step-by-step procedure in developing total energy balance for chemical processes (11 exercises).

Who this course is for?

• Chemical engineering undergraduate students who want to extend knowledge in process dynamic

• Process engineers who want to develop dynamic models for process plant

• Process control engineers who want to design control strategy for a new process

• Process engineers who want to optimize process operating conditions

Teaching Method:

This course will be conducted hands-on based on several exercises with the step-by-step procedure in developing total mass balance, total component balance and total energy balance for selected chemical processes. The way the exercise is selected which is based on the increment of the degree of difficulty. Every section will start with the easiest exercise and the degree of difficulty increases from one exercise to another until at the end of the section you will derive mathematical models for the so called the hardest exercise. At the end of the every sub-section, there will be some assignments to assess your capability in deriving mathematical models.
