The module “Process Modeling and Control” consists of the following components:

• Process and Plant Engineering II (Lecture, 2 contact hours/week)

• Process and Plant Engineering II (Exercise, 3 contact hours/week)

The lecture introduces different approaches to process modeling and develops a systematic methodology for model design. It also covers solution strategies for various types of process models as well as fundamental aspects of model solvability. The lecture concludes with applications of models in process control.

In the exercises, these concepts are explored in greater depth and applied through computer-based simulations.

Learning outcomes: Students gain an understanding of how to systematically develop, validate, and apply models for process simulation. They also acquire an overview of practical control concepts in process engineering and the design of control structures.
