Teaching Flowsheet Simulation

Описание: Teaching conceptual process flowsheeting and simulation at the 3rd year undergraduate level and earlier by Professor Thomas Adams at McMaster University

rofessor Thomas Adams is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at McMaster University. He received dual bachelor’s degrees from Michigan State University in 2003, one in Chemical Engineering, and the other in Computer Science. He received his PhD in 2008 from the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Prof. Seider and completed a postdoctoral appointment under Prof. Barton at MIT.

His primary educational contributions concern undergraduate and graduate course development concerning flowsheet synthesis and simulation, energy systems engineering, and computer-aided chemical engineering tools. He recently published the book Learn Aspen Plus in 24 Hours. He is also the creator of PSEcommunity.org which hosts LAPSE: the Living Archive for Process Systems Engineering, which is the leading digital repository for PSE education, journal article preprints, and research materials.

Professor Adams is the recipient of the David Himmelblau Award for Innovations in Computer-Based Chemical Engineering Education in 2021 from the AIChE CAST division.
