The aim of studying and bibliography

The main aim of study: The purpose of this course is to teach the principles of design processes and systems, and the use of simulation programs such as Aspen Plus and HYSYS. Topics include: introduction to design methods of integrated technology systems, rules for drawing up the energy and mass balances, an introduction to simulation calculations of technological processes (flow of information, analysis of degrees of freedom, the classification of simulation methods), the characteristics of simulation programs, the basic principles of heat integration.

The general information about the module: Student receives basic information of design and simulation of single processes and complete process systems, application flowsheeting programs, and process integration Topics implemented in the lecture: 1) Introduction to methods of designing integrated systems technology. 2) The criteria for evaluation of the project - "pure" chemical technology. 3) Design Heuristics 4) An introduction to computing simulation processes (flow of information, analysis of degrees of freedom, the classification of simulation methods). 5) Characteristics of simulation programs. Topics realized within the project: Basics of using simulation software ASPEN PLUS or HYSYS. Calculation of properties of multicomponent mixtures. Calculation: reactors, heat exchangers, valves, pipelines, fluid transport operations (pumps, compressor, expander, valves). The calculation of basic unit operations and analysis of the results (distillation, extraction, absorption). Sensitivity analysis as a tool for the design of apparatus and processes. Calculation of complex systems.

The way of giving the component module grades and the final grade

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture
Project/Seminar It is required to complete all projects and prepare a report for a positive grade. The final grade for project classes is the arithmetic average of the grades obtained from all 4 projects. Guidelines for developing the report are shared by the coordinator.
The final grade The final note (OK) from the module is calculated according to the following formula: (OK) = 0.4w (OW) + 0.6w (OL); w - rate taking the date of ranking into account, w = 1 (the first date), w = 0.9 (the second date), w = 0.8 (the third date); they drew up based on WKZJK.
