Processes simulation and analysis

Objectifs

At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts):

- the basics of chemical engineering process simulation tools at various scales

- the life cycle and carbon balance principles

- the basics of multidimensional analysis

- the elementary notions about process optimisation

The student will be able to:

- select the appropriate simulation tool with respect to the scale of investigation

- synthesize their knowledge to analyze the results of a commercial simulation tool

- simulate industrial processes in steady state

- perform the Life Cycle Analysis of an existing process

- use the FLUENT software to simulate single phase flows

- use the PROSIM Plus software to simulate general steady state processes

- use the UMBERTO software to perform a global analysis of a process within its environment.

- gather knowledge from various fields to choose the modelling approach, perform the set-up of the simulation  and analyse the results

- perform an optimisation study with PROSIM

- set up simulations of unsteady state processes with PROSIM Batch and FLUENT
