Computational Modeling in Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering

3 units

Computational tools to solve engineering, design and scientific problems encountered in thermodynamics, transport phenomena, separation processes and reaction kinetics. Introduction to programming skills in MATLAB and use of various MATLAB toolboxes. Theory and application of numerical methods for solution of common problems, including methods for root-finding/optimization, curve fitting (regression, interpolation, and spline), integration, differentiation, and ordinary differential equations and boundary value problems. Illustrative application examples.
