Objectives
The course will give deeper knowledge in the use of simulation within energy processes.
Learning outcomes
After completion of the course the student shall be able to - understand the principles behind commercial simulation tools - select and use appropriate simulation tools for dynamic and steady-state simulations - build and implement models in simulation tools for different applications related to the energy area - validate simulation models towards real process data - use models for different applications such as process optimization, system design, decision support and production planning - analyse and critically review simulation results in relation to real process data - show knowledge within the research area of process simulation
Course content
The course covers principles in building simulation models in process engineering, use of different tools for dynamic simulation, chemical equilibrium calculations and energy and material balances for different type of problems, simulation solvers, including simultaneous and sequential solvers, model verification and validation.

Lectures, assignments
Specific requirements
At least 90 credits (ECTS credits), of which at least 7, 5 are within mathematical modeling or equivalent experience. In addition, Sv B and En A. In cases where the course is offered in English, exemption from the Sv B is given.
Examination
Project, 7.5 credits, marks 3, 4 or 5
A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.
Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
