Courses

Numerical methods

This course introduces students to modern computational and mathematical techniques for solving problems in chemistry and chemical engineering. The use of introduced numerical methods will be demonstrated using the python programming language.

Fluid mechanics and transport phenomena

The concept of Shell balances, the Navier-Stokes equations and generalized differential balances equations for heat and mass transport are derived. These relations are applied to model systems. Integral balances are introduced in the context of boundary layers and transfer coefficients.

Chemical engineering product design

Chemical product design has become more important because of major changes in the chemical industry. This course presents the basic method for chemical product design and gives direct practice to this procedure via a design project.
