Course Description:
This course is an introductory technical seminar that prepares the attendee to be more familiar with process simulations, generation of mass and energy balances, reports as well as process design techniques in general.
It is intended for junior and medium-level process, chemical, mechanical and mechanical engineers (EIT & P. Eng.) as well as project manager seeking to better understand the key aspects of equipment design and process capabilities & constraints
We will discuss how to define a process variable, select thermodynamic correlations, vapor-liquid equilibrium data, connect a piece of equipment and how to avoid over specifying a system that is set for design, rating or troubleshootinhg (study or bid)
Specific examples of case studies (solved and unsolved) with a commercial process simulator will be discussed, with emphasis on the following aspects of the design:
- A set of sample problems to be discussed: 2-Ph, 3-Ph Separator, Compressor, P/L, Pump
- Steady State (S/S) solution versus dynamics (time-dependent) simulation
- Avoid pitfalls with convergence issues, solver options, typical misleading results and other common problems (inconsistency in the energy balance) or amount of pollutant emitted.
The PDDP Distance Education program works as follows:
-
You will receive the course notes in hard copy through the online website, you will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material.
-
A one hour video-conference session will be conducted by your instructor each week (if required). The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments, as well as answer student questions that should be sent to instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition with being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions being answered as well. (A high speed internet connection is strongly recommended for this feature).
-
Each set of exercises can be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed exercise will be marked online and and returned by your instructor.
-
To gain the most from your course, it is highly recommended that you participate fully in all discussions and exercises. Please remember that each course has a form of quiz or exercise at the end to test your understanding of the material. You will be informed of these dates when you receive the course schedule.
*Course commencement date is subject to instructor availability.
