Numerical Methods in Chemical Engineering with MATLAB

Chemical engineering problems often involve complex mathematical models, from mass balances to reactor design, that cannot be solved by hand. This text-based course guides you through applying numerical methods to solve these realistic engineering challenges using MATLAB. You will transition from understanding core mathematical concepts to writing clean, structured code and deploying your solutions as standalone executables. What you'll learn: — Understand foundational numerical methods for algebraic equations, integration, and ordinary differential equations in chemical systems. — Write structured MATLAB scripts and leverage modern Live Editor features for clear documentation. — Solve complex mass and energy balances using iterative numerical techniques and root-finding algorithms. — Configure and run the MATLAB compiler to build standalone, distributable executable programs. — Apply basic code optimization and debugging workflows to ensure your engineering simulations run efficiently. The course begins with essential terminology and the basics of numerical approximation before guiding you through practical chemical engineering scenarios and final program compilation. It is designed for beginners, engineering students, and professionals looking to build a solid foundation in computational engineering with no advanced programming prerequisites.
