Learn how to formulate mathematical models of steady-state and dynamic systems typical in the chemical process industry.

Mathematical models have many uses. For example:

• They can improve our understanding of complex systems.
• They can help to predict the design and control variables.
• They can be used in sensitivity analysis, parameter estimation, scaling and optimisation.
• They can assist in experiment design and troubleshooting.
• They can be used in R&D, training and education.

Running a simulation on a computer is cheaper than performing a real experiment in the lab or on a pilot plant. However, the models must be validated properly to ensure the accuracy of the simulation and optimisation results.
