The final result of sampling the many sensors is a large data file inMATLAB [3] containing time data for each of the sensors. The data is gathered over severalweeks.2.1.2 Data Analysis of Environmental DataEnvironmental data for the atmosphere will usually contain several components: i A trend component (seasonal warming, cooling, etc.) i Two frequency components (daily and seasonal) i Noise, usually introduced during the measurement processTo familiarize the students with the type of data they will be required to analyze, a simulatedsignal developed in MATLAB is generated.

To ease the considerable calculationsinvolved in solving vapor-compression refrigeration (VCR) cycle problems in the course,a text-based computer program was written, complete with property evaluation for 3three substances, by L.J. Genik and C.W. Somerton at Michigan State University. Thisprogram has recently been revised to be compatible with the Microsoft Windowsoperating environment prevalent today in engineering software.

Each one has a different approach to the manner in which the problem is implemented andsolved. Spice will solve a circuit given its schematic diagram without the user having any knowledgeof circuit analysis or circuit equations. MATLAB is useful in solving systems when the system isdescribed in a strict and often unnatural format. This has the disadvantage of

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
