CHME 4100 - Finite Element Modeling for Chemical Engineers

This course presents how solutions to problems in transport phenomena can be obtained using the finite element method. The fundamentals of numerical simulation for coupled heat, mass, and momentum transport are presented. Finite difference methods in 1D and 2D are discussed too. Simulations are performed in multiphysics software for 1D, 2D and 3D systems. The course covers the fundamentals of numerical simulation, formulating user-inspired problems, writing user-defined functions and variables, processing results, and extraction and analysis of simulation data.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites -  CHME 4020 , CHME 2050 , MATH 2400  

When Offered: Spring term annually.

Credit Hours: 3
