Process Simulation and Mathematical Techniques for Chemical Engineers

Using practical numerical methods and computer software, you will solve chemical engineering problems in mass and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid flow, heat transfer, separations, and chemical reactor analysis. In the process you will learn about algorithm performance, error analysis, and debugging. This course will not evaluate you very much on translating physical situations to appropriate models; this is a course on handling the models themselves. In this course, you will encounter the types of chemical engineering problems familiar from your previous coursework, but now at a more realistic complexity and scale.

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
