Existing: CHBE101: MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Application of numerical methods and digital computers to the solution of mathematical problems in chemical engineering. Subjects include interpolation and approximation, roots of algebraic equations, numerical integration, and solution to ordinary and partial differential equations. Prerequisites: For Juniors, Seniors, and Graduate students
Proposed: CHBE201: MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Systematic study of the solution of an algebraic equation, ordinary and partial differential equations or a set of equations. Emphasis is placed on the many similarities and the few differences of these three classes of problems utilizing vector space concepts. Specific topics include: linear independence; basis vectors and functions; eigenvalues, eigenvector and eigenfunctions; initial and boundary value problems; generalized Fourier series; Sturm-
Louisville problems; Green's function. Application examples in the following areas are used to demonstrate the concepts: chemical reaction engineering, heat conduction and mass diffusion in one, two, or three dimensions at the steady state or in the transient mode. Emphasis is placed on linear problems but nonlinear ones are also discussed. The computational environment used is
MATLAB.
