ABOUT THE COURSE:
The course “Introduction to scaling analysis and perturbation methods for chemical engineers” is intended to equip the learners with a host of tools from applied mathematics, that are critical towards modelling and simulating a range of scenarios in chemical engineering (science and engineering in general), especially towards scale-up and optimization, by suitable simplification and subsequent approximate solution of complex multiphysics governing equations. Being a graduate-level elective course, the focus is on understanding and employing approximate methods such as scaling and asymptotics. Specifically, the students will

Being a graduate-level elective course, the focus is on understanding and employing approximate methods such as scaling and asymptotics. Specifically, the students will
- learn the building blocks of modelling a process, i.e., formulating physicochemical processes.
- learn about the importance and utility of scaling analysis.
- get introduced to perturbation and asymptotic methods.
- learn how to use aforementioned methods for solving engineering problems of interest (mainly from transport and reaction processes).
