3203108 Computer-Aided Chemical Engineering (I) 3.0 3
Description This course aims to utilize computer simulation and computational tools to explore fundamental knowledge in the field of chemical engineering, covering two major topics: chemical engineering thermodynamics and chemical reaction engineering. In the thermodynamics section, the course will introduce how to analyze physical properties, chemical properties, and intermolecular interactions using Aspen Plus, a chemical process simulation software, along with its integrated databases. The course will also explore the calculation of phase diagrams for mixtures using various thermodynamic models. Additionally, generative AI tools will be employed to guide students in writing computer programs for equations of state and activity coefficient models, bridging theory with practical application. In the chemical reaction engineering section, Aspen Plus will be used to demonstrate the construction of reaction models and their practical applications in different kinetic models. The course will inc
