Course Objectives:

From a theoretical point of view, process modeling explains the key concepts needed to describe what happens in the development of a process, on what, when it happens, and why. From an operational point of view, process modeling is aimed at providing guidance for engineers and application developers. The development of fast, efficient and inexpensive computers has significantly increased the range of engineering problems that can be solved reliably by process simulation. Computational techniques use computers to solve problems by step-wise, repeated and iterative solution methods, which would otherwise be tedious or unsolvable by hand-calculations. 

This course is designed to give an overview of various methods for process modeling, different computational techniques for simulation. However, the focus being on the techniques themselves, rather than specific applications.

Software: During the course, students will be exposed to the art of scientific computation. It will rely on computer-based exercises to learn aspects of practical implementation. MATLAB and SCILAB are the official softwares used in this course.

SCILAB – an open-source scientific computation and visualisation package which is available to download for free at http://www.scilab.org.
