Aims
The unit aims to:
Provide an introduction to the methods of integration and solution of ordinary differential equation systems arising from the mathematical modelling of chemical engineering applications.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of CHEN20041, a student will be able to… (1) Compare different methods and select a suitable method for solving differential equations or integrals. (2) Apply the ideas and concepts to systems of differential equations. (3) Explain how both differential equations and integration can arise in the process of setting up mathematical models. (4) Apply techniques and find appropriate solutions of a differential equation or integral equation. (5) Apply techniques of differential equations and integration to a chemical engineering problem. (6) Set-up differential equations or integrals to solve a chemical engineering problem. (7) Understand the limitation of solutions arising from the calculations.
