After successful completion of the course, students are able to independently use process simulation tools (flowsheeting tools) to solve chemical engineering tasks related to current research projects.

Solving of current chemical engineering tasks using industrial process simulation tools (flowsheeting tools). Designing and setting up of a simulation model based on a process description. Elaboration of relevant process parametrs (literature, short-cut methods, experimental data). Calculation of mass and energy balances of process. Investigation of effect of recycle streams on process performance and convergence behavior of model. Enhancing knowledge and use of software features as sensitivity analysis, case studies, design specification or calculator blocks.

Computer simulation (flowheeting simulation) of chemical processes.

Students will use the simulation tool via Remote-Desktop function.

Support during work on the tasks will be given via TUWEL and regular online-meetings via Zoom.

Details to the procedure of the course will be given in the preliminary talk.

Report

Registration via TISS!

Participation at preliminary talk!

Basic knowledge in chemical engineering (balancing, flowsheets) - especially thermal process engineering (evaporation, distillation, heat exchange) and chemical process engineering (reactors, reaction chemistry)

Basic knowledge in thermodynamics/physical chemistry (equation of state, activity coefficients, mixed phase thermodynamics, vapor-liquid equilibrium)

Participation in the lecture 166.038 Process Simulation is recommended

Hands-on experience in process simulation (course 166.219 exercise" Process Simulation") is desirable, however can be developed in the course
