Many chemical engineering problems are also available for downloads in pdf format. If you are an educator and intend to use any of the materials for teaching purposes, please acknowledge the source. If you need solutions to the problems, please email me at hmku@inet.co.th.
Courses
in a Snapshot
The following courses are the ones in which I am either the lecturer or am indirectly involved.The following courses are
| Fundamentals
of Chemical Engineering Practice: Summer
Session
Review of chemical engineering fundamentals through plant designs is the focus of this course. Students are divided into teams of 3 - 4 members. Students are to make weekly oral presentations on the progress of their projects. Many advisors to the projects but no lectures. |
|
| Computer
Applications for Chemical Engineering Practice: Summer
Session
Steady-state process simulation is the theme of this course. Students will learn how to use ASPEN Plus to simulate chemical processes and predict their performances including mass and energy balances. Extremely intensive with lots of hands-on workshops and paper reading. |

Modeling I - Fundamentals of Process Modeling: Semester 1 Dynamic modeling of physical and chemical processes is the focus of this course. Numerical methods and MATLAB are also introduced to solve systems of algebraic and ODEs. The course consists of one-half lecture and one-half design problems. More oral presentations are expected here. |
|
|
Modeling II - Optimization of Chemical Processes: Semester 2 This course is a continuation of ChE 654 in which optimization is emphasized. Students will become familiarized with various optimization techniques and learn how to solve LPs, ILPs, MILPs, and NLPs by hand and using commercialized software. Similar to ChE 654, this course consists of one-half lecture and one-half design problems. More presentations. |

Systems Engineering : Semester 2 This course is modeled after MIT's popular Systems Engineering course, which focuses on advanced process control and large-scale process optimization. Prof. Peter L. Douglas of the University of Waterloo Canada, and Dr. Phil Schneider of James Cook University Australia have been our special lecturers in the past several years. ASPEN Plus and ControlStation are used. |
