In this course students learn to apply contemporary numerical methods including linear algebraic solutions for chemical engineering design problems. Numerical methods of differentiation, integration, interpolation, root-finding, linear and nonlinear regression, matrix manipulation, linear simultaneous equations, and solution of ordinary differential equations are discussed. Using process simulation software in the lab, students create a design with idealized mixing, reaction , separation, and mass energy balances, and evaluate performance parameters. Prerequisites: CHEN 200 (with a grade of C- or higher), CHEN 121 (with a grade of D or higher). (F;S;SS)
