This course is intended to introduce non-chemical engineers to the tools used in conceptual process development and analysis. Aspen Plus was originally developed at MIT and it is now widely used by the process industries for research & development, engineering and operations. Students will learn the basics of process modeling through a combination of lectures, tutorials and hands-on problem sets, with coaching. Non-chemical engineering students who are planning to use Aspen Plus for research projects are encouraged to attend this course.
By the end of the course, students should be comfortable with creating system level models of steady-state processes. They will understand how to provide their own equations into the process model, how to create information feedback loops and the basics of flowsheet convergence. Thermodynamic models will be used during the course, but the details of how to select the thermodynamic models will not be covered in this course; reference materials will be recommended.
