Introduction
DWSIM workshop registration instructions for foreign participants. Register here
Chemical Process Simulation is one of the basic lab courses in the undergraduate curriculum of chemical engineering / petrochemical engineering/ chemical technology / industrial biotechnology disciplines. The aim of this workshop is to work out a methodology to teach this course effectively at the undergraduate level. Exposure to this tool will help researchers also. It will also help improve the employment in industry, as careful use of this tool can increase the productivity in industry.
All of the above will be achieved through DWSIM, a free and open source chemical process simulation software. DWSIM is an excellent alternative to Aspen Plus/PRO II. DWSIM can be used free of cost by the industry also.
The FOSSEE project at IIT Bombay (https://fossee.in) has been promoting Scilab, and other FLOSS, such as Python, OpenFOAM, eSim, Osdag, OpenModelica, DWSIM, R, Drupal and Linux, and open source hardware, such as Arduino and OpenPLC. FOSSEE is also funded by NMEICT, Ministry of Education, Govt. of India..
Methodology of the Workshop
The workshop will be conducted using a mix of pre-recorded spoken tutorial videos with side by side learning and live lectures. A number of practice problems will also be provided after every topic followed by discussions on them to get a good understanding of each topic.
All participants will get the DWSIM software, Spoken Tutorials on DWSIM, copies of our slides, video recording of all lectures, several flowsheets solved using DWSIM, and several custom models. Using these all who are interested in conducting DWSIM workshops by themselves can do so. They will also get exposed to the collaborative content creation activity of the FOSSEE Project.
Benefits of the Workshop
On successful completion of the workshop, participants will be able to
- Learn fundamentals of chemical process simulation using DWSIM.
- Learn to create a steady-state simulation of a process plant.
- Certificate for attending 3 day DWSIM Workshop.
Course content
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- create a material stream
- simulate pressure changers
- simulate heater/cooler/heat exchangers
- create binary phase envelope
- simulate reactors
- perform sensitivity analysis and adjust
- simulate separation columns
- simulate process flowsheets using DWSIM
In addition, the participants will be exposed to advanced topics, such as the custom model creation, addition of new molecules to the property estimation database, data regression to generate BIPs.
