CHE 352 Mathematical Modeling in Chemical Engineering
Credit Structure:(3-0)3
Catalog Description:
Mathematical
model formulation of chemical
and physical processes. Solutions of model problems relating to fluid flow,
heat transfer, mass atransfer and chemical
reaction engineering.
Course Objectives:
To develop skills for the mathematical
modeling of the chemical engineering systems; to give
the students a solid understanding of professional and ethical responsibility; an awareness of the need for, and
ability to engage life-long learning; an ability to use modern engineering
techniques, skills and tools for
engineering practice.
