Advanced Course on Thermodynamic Models: Fundamentals & Computational Aspects, 13-24 August, 2012
During the period 13-24 August, 2012 the annual event “Advanced Course on Thermodynamic Models: Fundamentals & Computational Aspects” took place at the department. The principal teacher at the course were Michael L. Michelsen but also Georgios Kontogeorgis, and Alexander Shapiro gave lectures and both Wei Yan and Bjørn Maribo-Mogensen took part in the practical part of the course.
The course provides the participants with a knowledge of the fundamentals of thermodynamics, an overview of the most important thermodynamic models currently used in industrial practice, including how efficient computer codes for such models are written and checked for errors.
In addiction the course will emphasize the development of efficient procedures for calculation of phase equilibria under a variety of conditions. During the practical part of the course, the participants developed their own codes. The course included two weeks of lectures, classroom problems and computer exercises and during the third week, the students completed their exercises and handed in a report which will be evaluated and the participants will receive a diploma with their grade.
Participants which were researcher and PhD students, came from USA, Germany, Brazil, Italy, India, Norway, Czech Republic and Denmark.
