Chemical Process Dynamics and Control

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: CHE 352

The course is concerned with operating a plant such that the product quality and production performances are met in safe and reliable fashion. To achieve this, an extensive and expansive knowledge of the process plant is required. Often times it may not be possible to carry out ‘runs’ to gain this knowledge, thus, the need to formulate and solve models as time-dependent functions of the process—process dynamics. With the knowledge of the process coupled with the process plant objectives, various flow rates are, in most cases, adjusted in order to maintain operation (e.g., important levels, flows, pressures, temperatures and compositions) near the desired values. This course is meant to the student to this interesting and important field of engineering.
