Course description
The course introduces a systems approach to develop chemical engineering processes through process analysis and synthesis. The context and needs that give rise to process systems are examined along with the development of complex flowsheets. Techniques for the decomposition of large, complex systems to smaller problems are developed. While computer simulation skills are developed to facilitate the design, creation and evaluation of complex systems, costing and financial analyses are introduced to determine the feasibility of new developed processes.
