 |
Initiation to Computer Aided Process Engineering |
|
TICE is a self learning course on Computer Aided Process Engineering (CAPE), produced by Vincent Gerbaud, researcher CNRS at the Laboratoire de Génie Chimique de Toulouse (FRANCE) and member of the Computer Aided Process Analysis research team of the Process System Engineering department.
It is a comprehensive computer-based tool designed to provide complete understanding of CAPE fundamental aspects. Whether you are preparing a certification or just looking to build your knowledge on the subject, this interactive tool will help you to reach your current goal and prepare for your future projects.
On completion of this course you will be able to do the following:
| - |
Understand the different concepts involved in CAPE; |
| - |
Understand the results of a simulation; |
| - |
Build a complete (relatively simple) flowsheet rigorously; |
| - |
Challenge, correct and complete the different parameters of the process. |
Features
TICE-CAPE is a self learning course designed for beginners but presenting different levels of complexity than can be accessed independently.
Illustrations, animations and interactive content are part of the step-by-step approach that makes this course efficient and accessible to anyone.
The main aspect of CAPE are covered through different means:
| - |
A course (powerpoint slideshow); |
| - |
Multiple Answer Question (MAQ) type of exercises to evaluate the knowledge; |
| - |
Process simulation exercises to be conducted with ProSimPlus, a professional software designed for simulation of steady state processes; |
| - |
TICE-CAPE is available in English or in French (French version). |
