This workshop provides the participants an opportunity to connect technical knowledge with modeling practices. We will start the workshop with a detailed introduction of the fundamentals of the transport mechanism in membrane and reviewing the key modeling parameters in modeling. The participants will be then introduced to the simulation software environment. The rest of the workshop will be mostly focused on hands-on practice examples using simple, but insightful, membrane problems. The simulation software will be available for the registrants through a cloudshare environment. Participants will be trained to create a process-level membrane model and conduct a sensitivity analysis using the software features. The developed model will be later imported into a process flowsheet. At the beginning of each hands-on session, a partial model will be provided. A fully-fledged model will be provided at the end of each session, which will be used in the subsequent session. A tentative outline of the workshop is provided below.
Notes:
- Participants should bring their own laptops. For hands-on sessions, participants will connect to a cloudshare environment through an online browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Mozilla, Firefox, etc). The simulations will be run on a remote cloudshare computer.
- Two weeks prior to the workshop, a review package will be made available to participants. This package includes slides, journal articles, and a summary note about the topics that will be discussed in the workshop.
- One week prior to the workshop, a survey will be forwarded to participants. The purpose of this survey is to determine the expertise of the participants in the modeling and simulation packages. Instructors will use this survey to familiarize themselves with the needs and expectations of the participants.
