tailieunhanh - A Guide to MATLAB for Chemical Engineering Problem Solving

It is a powerfull mathematical software package that you may use in solving some of the problems assigned in this course. Matlab will likely be used again ( more heavily ) when you take ChẼ80 Process Control, and may also be helpful to you in other cuorsework or experimental worl as well. | A Guide to MATLAB for Chemical Engineering Problem Solving ChE465 Kinetics and Reactor Design Kip D.

About this Manual Matlab is a matrix-based mathematical software package that is used in several ChE classes including ChE465 Kinetics and Reactor Design ChE480 Process Control Laboratory and ChE475 Computational Methods. It may also be useful in ChE310 as well as other ChE and other courses . P-Chem. While Matlab is very powerful many students often find it to be unfriendly and difficult to learn and understand and frankly it is. This manual was compiled from several handouts that have been used previously in the above classes in an effort to make Matlab easier for you to understand and use. This manual demonstrates a select assortment of the common features and functions that you will use in your ChE classes. IT is NOT meant to be comprehensive rather it is meant to supplement the published Matlab manual Student Matlab available at the UW Bookstore or with the purchase of the Student Matlab software. and the on-line help available in Matlab See p. 3 Another good reference is Engineering Problem Solving using Matlab by .
