Course objectiveThe objective of the course is to present tools and methodologies for performing system optimization in a multidisciplinary design context. Focus will be equally strong on all three aspects of the problem: (i) the multidisciplinary character of engineering systems, (ii) design of these complex systems, and (iii) tools for optimization. 
Learning outcomes
  1. After completing this course student will gain the information to analyze the problem for the solution of engineering problems, modeling, evaluation system parameters, optimization and data analysis.
Course ContentEquipment design. Single parameter equipment design. Optimization of operational parameters and economical analysis. General approach to multi-parameter equipment design. Distillation column, heat exchanger reactor etc. designs.
