The objective of this course is the numerical simulation of complex mathematical models representing the fundamentals of real problems in chemical engineering and, in particular, those related to transport phenomena in both steady and unsteady state.
The contents of the subject are referred to generally in the memory of the Master in Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering. These contents will be coordinated with those studied on the matter Transport Phenomena, so that the examples to deal with have been addressed from a theoretical point of view in this matter. The course is mainlly structured around four main areas:
• Introduction to numerical methods.
• Numerical simulation of momentum transfer phenomena.
• Numerical simulation of energy transfer phenomena.
• Numerical simulation of mass transfer phenomena.
The course will try to adapt these contents to the students profile taken into account that, in many cases, they have not followed any course on numerical methods. The practices will be carried out using the Comsol Multiphysics software package through the license available at the USC.
