Modelling and Simulation of Biological Processes

Overview

The Modelling and Simulation of Biological Processes module is a course offered by Aalborg University. It is a 5 ECTS module that runs for one semester, typically in the spring.

Learning Objectives

Knowledge

Students who complete this module must be able to:

• Explain the effects of temperature, pressure, and initial concentrations on reaction equilibria
• Quantitatively account for the reaction rates in commonly used expressions such as power law and rational expressions
• Account for coupled mass and energy balances to derive design equations for ideal, isothermal, isobaric reactors (e.g., batch, CSTR, PFR)
• Account for coupled mass and energy balances to design non-isothermal reactors and apply fluid mechanics principles to design non-isobaric reactors
• Account for the mechanism, rate expressions, and models for heterogeneous reactor systems incorporating heat and mass transfer effects

Skills

• Apply material balances to derive and use design equations for ideal, homogeneous, isothermal, non-isothermal, non-isobaric, and heterogeneous reactors
• Analyze and interpret rate data by determining rate expressions from laboratory experimental measurements
• Design and evaluate chemical reactors using computer-aided design and computational chemistry tools

Type of Instruction

The module includes:

• Lectures
• Workshops
