Objectives
To develop the competences required for obtaining chemical process models and simulating them using appropriate numerical methods and programming. To implement the simulation of any process within the field of Chemical Technology.
Program
1. Modeling strategies and model classification. Systematic approach to model building. Modeling application to chemical technology.
2. Numerical methods applied to chemical technology: solving nonlinear equations; differentiation and numerical integration; solving ordinary differential equations; solving partial derivatives equations
3. Simulation of chemical technology processes using programming. Case studies of chemical technology.
Evaluation Methodology
In continuous assessment, the grade is obtained through a set of theoretical/practical and computational tasks (70%) and a modelling and simulation assignment (30%), with a minimum grade of 8 out of 20 in both components. Students who do not attend at least two-thirds of the TP and PL classes in person, which are considered mandatory according to the current Academic Regulations, and those who do not complete the modelling and simulation assignment during the contact period, will be excluded from the final assessment.
In the final assessment, the grade is obtained from the modelling and simulation assignment carried out during the contact period (30%) and a theoretical/practical and computational test (70%), with a minimum grade of 8 out of 20 in both components.

Teaching Method
During the lectures the main concepts are explained, demonstrating the application of these whenever possible. In TP classes is proposed the resolution of some typical exercises and PL classes some case studies are simulated using software.
Software used in class
