The goal of the course is to learn to apply mathematical and numericalmethods to chemical engineering problems. This goal involves learning to use existing softwarelike EXCEL and MATLAB, learning some rudimentary programming in MATLAB, and espe-cially learning to check your results numerically, since there are often no known analyticalsolutions for comparison. The instructor’s task is to achieve those goals within a structureimposed by a case study. In this course the structure was provided by a series of problemsarising when modeling processes to obtain

problems that always seem to occur that causechanges in the design. One particular problem that occurred was the abundance of noisethat was present in the transmission medium. An anticipated benefit of using the Linxtransmitter and receiver combination was the assumption that noise would be minimizedbecause of the built-in coding and decoding schemes of these products. The cause of thisproblematic noise was the receiver’s very low noise floor. An unorthodox solution to thisproblem was the use of software to minimize noise during transmission. Another problemthat was encountered was the implementation of two different transmitter and receiverfrequencies. This turned out to be a problem because the main station PIC cannot polltwo lines at the same
