The virtual equipment might be of commercial scale, comprising say of a tower 5 m in diameter containing 120 trays along with a thermosiphon reboiler, a partial condenser, reflux pumps, overhead drums, etc. A team of students might be set a task of evaluating the separation efficiency of the tower by

One topic offered in the first module – Creating FizzyFruit as a way to demonstrate diffusion – was expensive and only slightly successful andso was not offered in the second module.

While communication isincorporated in many undergraduate chemical engineering courses through laboratory reports,presentations, and informal short answer questions, these items are generally evaluated for theirtechnical accuracy, not on aspects of their delivery and presentation.

To obtainrealistic solutions for multiphysics problems in two or three spatial dimensions, one must usemore advanced approaches for solving coupled systems, which are usually based on the finiteelement method. This requires a good understanding of the basic theory behind the method, asolid knowledge of linear algebra, and a host of other supporting techniques that are related todiscretization, mesh generation, nonlinear equation solvers, numerical stability, to name a few,along with computer science skills for implementation.
