Engineering in the presence of uncertainty. Credits Use of the basic laws of conservation of momentum, mass and energy to formulate partial differential equations describing chemical engineering processes. Analytical and numerical solution of partial differential equations. Matrices, vector analysis, selected topics. Credits Advanced treatment of chemical reaction engineering including effects of non-ideal flow and fluid mixing on reactor design.
Course requires three lecture hours per week.
CHEG-506 Advanced Process Control 3 Credits Advanced topics in control, including feed forward control, cascade control, and frequency response analysis. Control of processes using microprocessors and digital computers is introduced. Specification of control systems and on-line process instrumentation is stressed. A survey is made of the most recent methods for analysis of the dynamic behavior and control of process systems. Critical examination of recent literature describing the application of these topics to new technology areas.
