Annotation -
The course should be interpreted as a continuation of the basic and advanced courses on chemical engineering with simultaneous application of knowledge from mathematics, thermodynamics and some other subjects. It could be taken as an introduction to process (chemical) engineering oriented to the utilization of tools, which are used in this field . Especially, system engineering as a common methodology for teh solution of various tasks concerning large systems. The main topic is simulation methods, which will be adopted by students also practically during the work with up-to-date simulation programs. Other themes comprise particular tools as balance calculations, optimization and proces syntheses. The course is completed with basic idea about process design, its goals, individual phases when designing a process and tools used for this purpose.
