Justification in the curriculum and relationship with the profession
This subject allows to complete the training within the degree in Chemical Engineering in process simulation initiated in previous courses in subjects like METHODS AND COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, FLUID MECHANICS, HEAT TRANSMISSION, THERMOTECHNICS and INTEGRATED LABORATORY OF BASIC OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING OF THE CHEMICAL REACTION, and will serve as a tool for others such as CARBON, OIL AND PETROLEOCHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, PROJECTS and FINAL DEGREE WORK and other subject of the MASTER'S DEGREE IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING. Undoubtedly the knowledge of the simulation of processes can be used profusely by future graduates to study the stationary and dynamic behavior of industrial chemical processes.
The main goal of this subject is that the students obtain a high skill in the use of the two main simulators of processes in stationary state: ASPEN HYSYS and ASPENPLUS. This training will be of great help for the course PROCESS DINAMICS. CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL PLANTS that is taught in the aforementioned Master.
To this end, the subject is organized through the case method in order that students discover the peculiarities of the different modules used in the simulation of complex chemical processes and real plants.
